    Can I Do a Windows Restore to Duplicate Existing PC on a new PC?


    I have a Surface Pro running Windows 11. My files are backed up on my OneDrive. I’m going to purchase a later version Surface Pro. I have an ISO image on an external hard drive. Can that ISO image be used to duplicate my current Windows 11 installation on my new Surface Pro? Or should I just use Windows Backup and Restore? I’m trying to avoid having to reinstall all my programs and have everything the same as it is on my existing PC.

    :)

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?

    Can I Do a Windows Restore to Duplicate Existing PC on a new PC?

    Transfering from existing Windows 10 PC data and apps to a new Windows 10 Home PC

    I have an existing Windows 10 PC and purchased a new Windows 10 Home PC. I want to transfer my files and most apps to the new PC with the minimum fuss preserving my existing software and licences.

    I have backup software and an old 200gb WD MyBook Essential hard disk which I intend to use to backup most data before hand.

    Can you suggest anything easier.
