Windows 10: Restore files to new SSD after HD crash

I have reinstalled Windows 10 on a new SSD after the hard drive crashed. My back up is on another computer but I haven't been able to restore the files from the backup using Windows Backup and Restore. Using Backup and Restore, when I select the backup location I can select the backup which when opened in explorer shows a folder dated the morning before the crash but I get a message that, "Windows was not able to find any backup set on..." \\[Network Location].


What can I do to get my files back?


Any help is greatly appreciated!

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.

 

Macrium Reflect and SSD drive


Here's an easy way to do it, With your SSD connected.

1. If not already done. Create a backup image of your current Windows HD. From Macrium, click on "Create an image of the partition(s) required to backup and restore Windows"
   NOTE: you could actually clone the disk, but create a backup then restore will allow Macrium to correctly align the cluster size and perform trimming on the new SSD.
2. After step 1 is done, click on Restore tab, select the image from step 1 then click on Select different target disk, select the SSD as destination disk then click on Next->Finish. No need to use/boot from Rescue disk. It will be faster and Macrium will also perform trimming on the new SSD.
3. Disconnect the HD and reboot. Windows should boot up with the new SSD.
