Backup and Restore - Win 7

I tried using the Win 7 Backup and restore. Below is a screen print of my settings. After a backup (and deleting programs etc), I did a restore but my programs were not restored. My data files were restored.

Can you suggest what I might have done wrong that the programs were not replaced

 

restore doc files from Win 7 into Win 10

I clicked on the Backup files I created in Win 7 and had copied to my passport external drive under Win 10. I first tried the protocol I found online for restoring Win 7 backups, but it never allowed me to "find" the backup files. I have been to this stage
several times.

Otherwise, when I click on the Backup file , it appears to be 'downloading' as it ? restores or opens the 105 Gig "file" .

I'm just trying to retrieve some docs in one particular folder I will have to look for... no error messages

Thanks. Ron

 

Win 7 image restore breaks ability to see Win 10 image backups

I have a multi-boot system, XP Pro (32 bit), XP Pro X64 (64 bit), Win 7 Pro (64 bit), Win 10 Pro (64 bit). Each OS is on a separate hard drive and partition. The C: partition is boot only (no operating system on it).

I did a system image backup from Win 10 and also from Win 7. Once I do a Win 7 image restore using Win 7 repair (dvd), the Win 10 images backups no longer appear in the list of backups if I later run Win 10 repair or Win 7 repair.

The workaround for this bug is to do a system image backup from Win 7 and include the Win 10 partition in the Win 7 image backup (to Win 7, the Win 10 partition is a "data" partition). The the Win 7 repair will restore the Win 10 partition unless restore to "non-system" partitions is turned off. I confirmed this works by formatting both the Win 7 and Win 10 partitions before doing a repair / restore test.

What I don't understand is what the Win 7 restore changes to my system that prevents the Win 10 backup system images from appearing in the list of image backups. The Win 10 image folders are still present on my hard drive(s).
