Windows 10: Creating system image after hard drive replaced? Windows 10

I have a hard drive that is failing. I backed up my files, created a system image, and a restore USB drive. However, when I went to create the system repair disc, the printer installation disc that was already in the drive prompted my computer to try to finish installing the printer. I tried to search everywhere I could think of within the computer Windows 10 for creating a system repair disc, but no luck. Eventually, I figured that maybe the system restore drive and the system repair disc were the same thing. I subsequently had the old hard drive switched out.


Now, I can't load my backed up system image or the system restore USB drive since I have no system repair disc.


Options that I'm considering:

1. reinstalling the old hard drive and creating a system image.

2. scrubbing the computer to reinstall everything and seeing if I can somehow repair things afterward not sure if this works

3. Any of your recommendations.


Thanks!

Replacing old hard drive, need way to copy Windows installation across

Hey Guys,
What would be the best way of copying/imaging the entire contents of an old system drive over to a replacement hard disk for the same machine? I need to copy the Windows installations and all other data to the new drive, and then format the old drive to use as a backup.

Any suggestions? *Smile

 

Reinstalling Win 10 to a replacement hard drive

I have an HP Pavilon desktop which I upgraded to WIN 10 from WIN 7. The hard drive is starting to fail with a BIOHD-8 error.Before the drive fails I would like to create a set of restore or recovery disks so I can buy a new one terabyte drive to replace
the current 750 gig drive and reinstall the current version of Win 10. Will creating an ISO disk image work if I used a one terabyte external USB to create the image and then replaced the drive and copied the image back? I'd like to use a set of DVD to create
an image or recovery drive so I wouldn't have to "waste" the external Hard drive. The steps in Control panel create a Windows System Repair Disk and a System Image but it says its for WIN 7. What am I missing? Seems that the system image created for DVDs (64
bit) would occupy 14.37 gig or four DVDs.

Creating a System Image

I am creating a Win 10 system image of my laptop and saving it to an external hard drive. My laptop hard drive is showing signs that it needs to be replaced soon. Will I be able to restore the saved system image onto a newly installed hard drive?
