Confusion about partition during use of BU Imager - Unknown Partition
I own the paid edition on my primary system, presently running version 8.1.7638, while an update is pending installation.

It might simply indicate that contacting them for technical help is no longer possible, rather than a sign that Windows 11 isn't supported. Or perhaps it means updates aren't available. It could also refer to another product. The link I provided was for the "Macrium Reflect Home" version, which seems to be the current standard.
Like you mentioned in another discussion, this really comes down to your requirements. For basic needs, a free Imager might be a better option. Your choice is up to you.
Currently, I'm performing a complete scan of one of my laptops. It's using Surface Go 3 with Windows 11 Home. The free version, which was originally v7, has been upgraded to v8, and it was first installed over a year ago. Without support, it means "No help from Macrim and no new features." It still functions perfectly, even in Windows 11.
Just to ensure clarity, a standard Windows setup requires at least four partitions in a particular sequence. If you wish to split your data into several partitions, you can do so, but the essential four must always remain in that specific arrangement. It seems any partition not listed in Windows disk management is likely excluded for safety reasons, preventing potential issues with booting. The initial partition is typically the 100MB EFI System Partition. The second is the 16MB partition, which isn't usually visible in Disk Management. The third serves as the data partition, which you can divide further if needed. The final partition is the Recovery Partition and must always be at the end of the disk.
Given the time spent on this, I personally favor paying Macrium's fee for a reliable solution.
