I haven't had that at all - what graphics card are you using, and how up-to-date are the drivers?
Have you told them about the problem?

Intel HD Graphics 4600 (built into the motherboard), driver date is 9/28/2016.

I might, but I dislike the grandma UI enough to find something else.

How amusing. dxdiag says my driver version is 20.19.15.4531, and the download page from Intel has the latest version at 15.40.36.4703 (Latest), 6/23/2017. What, do they count down their version numbers?

Well, there's your problem - when will you time travellers learn about using once-and-future drivers?

+1 for macrium, no issues (tried Aomei - completely useless with hidden network shares)

I was scrambling to find disk imaging software night before last to clone my wife's drive (from new laptop) onto her old 120GB SSD.
I forgot that she had the old Kingston Xtreme SSD -- not the Samsung that comes with cloning software.
I stumbled upon the Marcrium site and got it working in mere minutes. I was very happy. 
EDIT
When I was originally researching and googled, I first got led to Acronis for the Kingston drive but my older SSD (serial number) wasn't supported for a free version.

One tip regarding Macrium's Reflect: Make separate bootable recovery media for each machine where you intend to use it. This way you ensure all critical drivers for that machine are included in the bootable recovery software.

Great. Glad you found it useful. Looks like quite a few fans here.

I have used the free edition of Macrium's Reflect, and that only, for years! Never had an issue with it on any of 4 machines in our household. I LOVE this product!

I had Acronis for a while, but I got tired of the constant whining from it to buy an update.
I'll give another vote for Macrium Reflect, the free version. It took me less than ten minutes to set up my preferred backup scheme: weekly full image plus nightly incremental.

Aomei, as recommended by OriginalGriff, works fine for me. It got upset about using a network shared drive once but I just removed the entry and re-entered it and now it works fine.
I must admit the Icons, etc. are a bit... huge!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I had to revert back to Acronis version from 2013 for it to be of any use to me....well I say that, this morning turned on my computer and got an Acronis error and system wouldn't boot.
Guess I'm going to have bite the bullet and go with another brand. About 2 years ago I did the research and almost ordered another backup utility that was highly recommended but it was/is $100.

It's about as likely as finding a jewfish in a church.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Hi All,
Two big things One) pointless stand up meetings (I'm doing X not having any issues was said as response) Two) the Arduino I am playing with will talk over the Ethernet but not ping!

Ah! You need the machine that goes "Ping!", that's your problem. You can lease one back from the company you sold it to; that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

My wife just got a new iPhone 7, and it makes a "ping" sound when she gets an alert. So of course I couldn't help but say "I see that you have the machine that goes ping...".
