I like safety in my backups. So I regularly do both a System image with

I did two today; Win10 took almost 2 hours, Macrium took 19mins.

1TB spinning HD, C partition occupies it all, apart from a few small ones
for reset etc. Which means that Macrium had even more to write.

Why is this? Why does Windows take so long? It's not doing anything more
than Macrium, and, in addition, it comes from MS themselves, the creators of
this system, the supposed connoisseurs.

The Win10 included app was designed and pretty much unchanged for much older
o/s than Win10.

Imo, you'd be better off to discontinue use of the MSFT ancient 'tool' and
make 2 Macrium backups if no other software is readily available.
- my personal approach is create 'duplicate time' images. One with Acronis
True Image and another with Macrium.
