You Found It - Bonus Points 


AnyDesk remote access, v3.6.1 - Portable, just drop onto desktop and run.

Will run on any PC running Windows XP through to Windows 10 - fast.

Will prompt to upgrade to the latest version (v7.1.6) but don't, as registration is now required for all features.

Update 20 September 2024:

Seems AnyDesk 3.6.1 has gone legs up, as while it runs it's no longer able to resolve AnyDesk addresses.

Perhaps a change to the AnyDesk central server config . . . but whatever.

So I've added the latest version here, AnyDesk 8.0.14 - Windows XP though 11, x32 and x64.

While this is an install version rather than portable, it's pretty low overhead and runs well.

Maybe minus a feature or two, but still quite useable.

I suspect with a bit of futzing around you could portablise it, but I can't be bothered right now.

Update 5 May 2025:

It seems Aomei has removed some features from it's latest free version of Backupper Standard, v7.4.2.

The full disk clone option now only applies to a data disk and not the Operating System disk.

They do state in their list of features that partitions on any disk can still be cloned one-by-one though.

I'm assuming this means that I can still clone all partitions on the primary hard drive one at a time but this is a real downgrade for me 
as I partition my primary hard drive(s) with both OS and data partitions and I'd like to be able to clone the whole disk in one go, with both OS and data.

If you don't structure your primary hard disk into OS and data partitions then the change may not concern you.

It's a bit of a shame they've decided to go this way - although on the up-side it still supports XP and Vista.

Might be time to explore other free solutions such as Macrium.

If you want the older version of Aomei download from the link above.
