Macrium Reflect Tutorials

Macrium Reflect Tutorials:

I am worried that my laptop is going to overheat and fail. So far, I don't think the hard drive is going bad. I bought a 1TB external hard drive this week. I'm planning to install the "free" version of Macrium Reflect. I'll use it to create a mirror image of the hard drive on the external hard drive.

But, first I need to get up to speed on how Macrium Reflect works.  There are some ten to twelve minute videos on YouTube.  I watched a couple of them and thought they were good.  However, for me, I seem to be more comfortable if I have a written tutorial that I can study and perhaps display on the 2nd screen as I go through the steps.

At the BSCC computer club there have been several short talks about Macrium Reflect and there are a couple of PowerPoint presentations available on the club website.

Free Crosspost widget makes your blog irresistible. Sweet!

Free Crosspost widget makes your blog irresistible. Sweet!:

One of the pieces of HTML displays social media buttons for sharing. I have it working on at least one of my Google blogs, but don't know for sure how I installed it. This may be the solution to the social media buttons problem that I have at the bottom of my blog entries.

Optical Character Recognition in Google Keep - TechRepublic

How to take advantage of Optical Character Recognition in Google Keep - TechRepublic:

Apparently you can use your Android smartphone and the "free" Google Keep App to capture and image, say of a newspaper article and quickly convert it to a "text" file. This could be very useful for genealogy. Use the phone to capture the image of a newspaper clipping obituary and convert it to a text file.

I have not mastered this technique as of the time I posted this link.

Free Video Converter- Convert WAV to MP3

Free Video Converter, Online Video Downloader - OnlineVideoConverter.com:

I noticed some Chuck Mangione WAV files on my laptop. I used this online App to convert to MP3.

It's quick and easy. I wanted to put the songs on an MP3 CD so I could play them on my Boombox or in the car.

The conversion was quick and easy.
