First use: backup your SSD drive before installing your software

Before installing your devices driver and your astronomy software in the Windows operative system of
the EAGLE, we suggest you to create a backup copy of your SSD. In fact, after production and testing of
your EAGLE, we always record a "Windows Restore Point" that you can use if the software and driver you use
create problems in Windows and you want to come back to factory settings. But, since main Windows Updates
automatically delete recovery points, we recommend you also to make a backup copy of your SSD drive.
If you don't do a backup copy of your SSD drive and if in the future you will have problems with the Windows
installation of your EAGLE, you will have to ship us back the entire unit (since every EAGLE is different because,
for example, every EAGLE has its remote control codes) because we can only do this reset in our laboratory.
There are plenty of services to back up your files, but we'll be using Macrium
Reflect Free. It's free and easy to use. To install Macrium Reflect, go to
www.macrium.com/reflectfree, click on "Home Use" button. Your EAGLE has to
be connected to the internet (for example, by connecting the EAGLE to your
router by using an Ethernet cable) in order to correctly download and install
Macrium Reflect.
Once you downloaded the installation file, please double click on it in order to
start the installation procedure, as you can see in the picture on the right. You
can safely delete all the installer files from your Downloads folder once the wi-
zard has finished.
A new window will open, you can deselect "Register the installation of Macrium
Reflect" and press Next button to proceed.
NOTE: Before starting the backup of your SSD drive, please connect a USB 3.0 pen or an external USB 3.0
drive (with enough capacity to make the backup of your SSD drive) in one of the USB 3.0 ports of the EA-
GLE. Slower USB 2.0 pen or drive will also work but will need a longer time to perform the backup.
Once it's installed, it'll automatically launch the Macrium software, you will see
this windows (left) and please press Next button to proceed.
