Windows 10: Restore to a new machine

I backed up my Windows 10 machine to an external harddrive. How do I restore this backup to a new machine running Windows 10?

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.

The defaultd for the Boot Option Control was UEFI only and I tried Legacy only but that did not solve the problem. This time, I tried it again as shown in the following. Please correct me if I misunderstood your suggestion.

Since you've forgotten the password, we suggest that you enable the hidden admin account. To do this, kindly follow these steps:

• Press Windows + R and type "cmd".
• Enter this command: net user administrator /active:yes.
• Log out and see if there's an option to log in as an Administrator.
• You can now try to restore your computer to its previous state in the
  Administrator profile.
