    Can I restore backup M7 W10 image on new SSD and keep my HDD intact


    I am thinking of buying a new SSD and adding it to my desktop PC

    I have a Macrium 7 backup image of Windows 10 as well as other program files and data files of my current HDD.

    Is it possible to restore my macrium W10 image to a new SSD and leave the current HDD intact with the OS and data files if I make the SSD the bootup drive using my PC's BIOS?

    :)

    Restore Image or Clone from HDD to new SSD?

    I have a single, non-partitioned (C:\ drive only) 500GB HDD in a desktop PC, using approx. 80 percent of it. I want to install a 500GB SSD, and clone or restore an image of the HDD to it. Once that's complete and successful, I plan to wipe the 500GB HDD
    and then move my large libraries of media from the newly installed SSD to it. My future holds lots of video editing and compiling, so the extra storage will help, along with the better performance via the SSD (and upgraded RAM as well).

    I'm unable to find after much research a definitive answer as to whether cloning the HDD to the SSD is better than restoring an image of the HDD to the SSD. I've read where cloning will carry over bad sectors and such where imaging will not. I think I'm
    leaning toward image restore, keeping a copy of it on an external 1TB drive I have, to which I can periodically do image backups of the new, separate drives.

    I'd also like to find a tutorial re: the same. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Restoring Windows 10 Image using Macrium Reflect


    In addition to the above. Here's my suggestion in step by step.
    I assume you have Macrium Installed in your current HD and already made a backup copy.
    • Connect your new HD via USB port and boot up.
    • Run Macrium, click on Restore tab then select the Backup Image that you made to restore
    • click on "select a different target disk" then select your new HD as destination

    • Proceed to restore then Shutdown and disconnect the old HD and replace with the new HD
    • Boot up with your new HD.

    W10 System Image Backup

    When I use the W10 System Image Backup, it hangs at the step where it says it is "Preparing to create backup" and eventually times out leaving error codes 0x80780021 and 0x81000101. How do I fix this? My machine is Dell XP13, Core I7, 8th Gen, 500 SSD
    and the hard drive is encrypted, but the backup says it will save an unencrypted version on my external backup hard drive.
