Acronis say this isn't supported on Windows 11 and I bet it's got nothing to do with the fact you can no longer buy a lifetime licence and instead have to move to a subscription model. I know there's other free alternatives but I like Acronis...mostly, and bought 10 licences a few years ago for under £100 and would like to keep using them. The subscriptions would cost me £85 per annum for just 5 licences and probably another £40-50 for another 5. However if you try an install True Image 2020 on Windows 11 it won't install unless you permanently disable 'Memory Integrity' from the 'Core Isolation' setting in 'Device Security'. The reason for this is that the 'Try and Decide' option installs the 'tib.sys' driver and this cannot be removed from the installation settings and having Memory integrity enabled stops the install until switched off. It's fairly easy to get round this but it does mean you lose some minor Disk Image options and all of the 'Try and Decide' feature (and possibly other settings options in other parts of the package I haven't investigated yet). You can disable the tib driver service by: Open an elevated Command Prompt and run: sc config tib start=disabled followed by a reboot then check it's disabled by running: sc query tib You can then rename or delete tib.sys If something breaks and you renamed the tib.sys driver then you can set it back to tib.sys and then run: sc config tib start=demand or reinstall True Image again The only problem now is that when you create a new disk image it doesn't remember any custom backup schemes you have previously created e.g. full or incremental backup or any of the other settings e.g. validation or performance. However you can set these up again each time. In my case it adds about 10 seconds to the image creation. I've only tested the image creation and restore for Full disk images so there may be settings that aren't available in the incremental images. I believe the advantages of being able to continue using the disk image options and keep the security settings outweigh the negative aspects of losing some functionality. UPDATE: I've found another setting that doesn't work quite as expected. When you name your backup, this name is longer reflected in the internal name that Acronis uses e.g. if you name the backup '9 August 2025' then Acronis displays that internally in the program with what appears to be the model number of the SSD/ Hard drive the image is being created from (c:\). It still displays correctly in the image file on the eternal drive. UPDATE: 'Clone Disk ' and 'Rescue Media Builder' continue to work as normal
