Windows 10: How do i restore my Windows10 backup to my new Windows11 PC

my old PC died completely but fortunately i had a fairly recent backup created using file History but it seems that Microsoft has made no provision to use my backup to restore my files to my new Windows 11 PC.Surely this is a serious omission since a PC dying is the primary reason for creating backups.Anyone out there have a solution?I read a post from December 2021 which suggested:"1. On the new Windows 11, make sure the "File History" feature is turned off and the history is empty, and close "File History".2. Click Start > Update & Security > Backup, under Back up using File Histor

System Restore & Backup For Windows10

What I mean is that in Windows7 there is a facility for auto-backup at certain dates (especially when Windows performs an update) from where one can restore the system to an earlier and trouble free state.

I noticed that there is no such auto system in Windows10.

Thank you.

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.

1. Connect your new HD via USB port and boot up.
2. Run Macrium, click on Restore tab then select the Backup Image that you made to restore
3. click on "select a different target disk" then select your new HD as destination
   
   
   
4. Proceed to restore then Shutdown and disconnect the old HD and replace with the new HD
5. Boot up with your new HD.
