I've always used Acronis or Windows' built in system image and have used both a few times for a full recovery using OS's other than 10.

    First fault in 3 years, purple screen - time to upgrade vSphere?

    After more than 3 years of flawless service our vSphere 5.1 cluster had a single host purple screen. VMware support has stated they'd rather not have to support such an old hypervisor.
