Operation Manual

Every "soft" reboot of your computer while in the Try mode results in adding up to 500 MB of

Try&Decide's housekeeping data into the storage selected for storing virtual changes.

Limitations in using Try&Decide

If you use Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10, please, be aware that in the Try mode the

program may use free disk space quite intensively, even when your computer is idle. This is due to

housekeeping activities such as indexing that run in the background.

Please note that while working in the Try mode you will experience slowing down of the system

performance. Furthermore, the process of applying changes may take a long time, especially if you

leave the Try mode turned on days on end.

Please be aware that Try&Decide cannot track changes in disk partitions, so you will be unable to use

the Try mode for virtual operations with partitions such as resizing partitions or changing their

layout. In addition, you must not use the Try&Decide and disk defragmentation or disk error checking

utilities at the same time, because this can irreparably corrupt the file system, as well as make the

system disk unbootable.

When the Try mode is started, you won't be able to use the previously activated Acronis Startup

Recovery Manager. Rebooting the computer in the Try mode will allow you to use Acronis Startup

Recovery Manager again.

Try&Decide and Nonstop Backup cannot work simultaneously. Starting the Try mode suspends

Nonstop Backup. Nonstop Backup will resume after you stop the Try mode.

When the Try mode is started, you won't be able to use the "Hibernate" power saving mode.
