    How to restore entire computer from a system image?


    Hello, how I can restore my entire computer from my external hard disk system image? I did created a system image (no disc or media) at left side "create a system image" option in Windows 7 backup and restore menu. I have windows 10 1809 professional


    I also noticed normal backup feature allows to click on the folder "x****puter name" then a panel opens which have three options, which very useful however "create a system image" path did not have such menu, it simply shows the located folders and files without any exe or any option about restore.


    Any help?


    EDIT: I'm asking this in a status when computer wont boot, I included all disks in system image and recovery partition

    :)

    How to restore system image backup


    Ryan,

    Whilst I can find the tutorial for making a system image [Create a System Image], I cannot find one about restoring it at the moment so here are my own notes on the procedure - [I never see the message windows need to format the drive... so I am not sure where you are when you see that]

    [Added later - There is an illustrated guide to restoring a system image in Restore Image on Computer - EightForums. The procedure seems to be the same and the illustrations should be helpful.]

    1 Go to


    • Settings,
    • Update & security,
    • Recovery,
    • Under the Advanced startup heading, click on the button for Restart now.


    2 This will take you into the onboard Windows recovery environment [WRE], a menu-driven environment -

    • Troubleshoot,
    • Advanced options,
    • System image recover.

    3 You will be rebooted into the System image recovery procedure -


    • Log into an Admin account,
    • Connect the drive containing the image,
    • Accept the latest image identified by the system or Select a image,
    • The rest is entirely menu driven.
    • [Whilst there are some options that can be chosen, the defaults are normally off for all these and should be accepted.]


    There are variations of this procedure such as starting the restoration from an installation disk, system repair disk or System recovery drive [see page 2 of this thread].

    System Image Problem


    Bill,

    Could you elaborate on the Nick's Data? I've already done a Sys Img to G: drive.
    What is a Belarc Advisor audit?


    Rebooting now to see if drives stay the same.

    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.
