Windows 10: New Windows 11 Laptop “Couldn’t Find Backup”, Hard drive with Windows 10 system image

Hi all.I had a Razer Blade computer that I created a system image of. This is on my external hard drive. I plugged this external hard drive into my new ASUS during set up, when I was prompted to restore from Windows 10. However, I repeatedly get the error “Couldn’t find backup, try again.” Is there steps that I’m missing?

Windows 10

no, you can't go back..
I suggest creating a backup image of your os drive

 

Windows 10

its already there. there is a hard set factory image from samsung. problem is it takes a long time to get that backup into the drive again and destroys the C drive data.

so looks like i wont be trying windows 10 anytime soon *Stick Out Tongue

 

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
