    Import a restore point from an HDD


    Hello, I've recently upgraded my laptop from an HDD to a SSD, but didn't do any backups beforehand and I really wanted to use one of the restore points in my old HDD to restore my computer, since I'm no computer expert I don't have the slightest idea if that's even possible. Could anyone help me?

    :)

    How to delete inactive System Image Restore Points in System Restore

    Windows 10 64-bit.
    When I click "show more restore points" in System Restore I see a bunch of old "system image restore points" that were deleted in past and do not correspond to any currently active restore points. Clicking any of these old restore points, I simply get an error message saying they could not be found, and to select another restore point instead.I would like to delete these restore points listings but have been unable to do so.
    So far, I have tried steps mentioned below without any luck :

    Disk Cleanup through (CImport a restore point from an HDD :) Properties
    Disable System Protection (OFF and ON) in System Protection for OS (CImport a restore point from an HDD :)
    Disk Space Usage to minimum (slider button all the way to the left then 'Delete all restore points for this drive'),
    Delete all shown Restore points in CCleaner (the problem ones do not show here),
    Reset Windows Backup to Default in Windows 10 with 'Reset_Windows_Backup.bat' utility.

    Any suggestions highly welcome.
