    can i use an older system image on a pc with files


    hello. i had a problem with my computer and at the service section they are gonna backup my files format the disk and then install windows os and use the backup file to restore my files. i have an external disk containing a backup file of the exact same computer done around 3 months ago containing a backup and a system image. what if i use that system image with the fixxed computer already containing the files from the current backup that will be performed? what will happen?

    :)
