Windows 10: Macrium Reflect 8

I'm setting up a new laptop and I'm having trouble with Macrium Reflect 8. My first problem is that I booted from a Macrium boot disk to make an image before I setup the laptop. Even though Macrium said it was successfully made I can't find the image on the USB HDD. The second problem is that once I booted the new laptop, I installed Macrium Reflect 8 and made an image. When I mount the Image and look at my user folder not everything is showing. There is no desktop folder. I don't know if there are other files missing. I'm going to delete the image and try again. Anyone know why the desktop isn't listed?

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.
