    Windows 10 System Restore from Image on Surface Book 2


    I recently had to have service on my Surface book 2 laptop. As instructed I backed up my computer and created a system image on an external hard drive, and wiped the surface hard drive prior to turning it into Microsoft. I just received it back and it appears to be working great. There are few to no instructions on how to restore the system image. I see where I can restored backed up files but what I want to do is to restore the system image so that all of the software that I had purchased prior to service is restored as well.


    There are no instructions on how to do this and I don't find anything in control panel. I find where to create the system image but now where to restore from a system image.


    Your help is appreciated.

    :)

    Installing Disk Image on Windows 10 Surface Book 2

    Hello,

    I'm trying to install an image of my hard drive onto my new surface book 2. My old surface book 2 was defective. The replacement is identical in terms of hardware. I followed the instructions here:

    How to restore a Windows 10 system image to an existing or larger storage device

    I go through the standard process:

    1. System settings
    2. Security and privacy
    3. Advanced options
    4. Troubleshooting
    5. System image recovery
    6. Select image backup (it finds the image on my external drive)
    After this step the wizard insists on a recovery CD or DVD, or creating one. I have created a recover disk using a micro USB card. (I haven't used a CD / DVD in years ...) The card was automatically labelled 'RECOVERY' and sits on the 'F' drive.

    I've gone through the above process with the recovery disk (choosing to boot from USB), changed the BIOS to make USB the first boot option, etc. I always get the requirement to create a recovery disk again when going through the image install process.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks
