  1. Restore to Windows 10 OLD after a Fresh Start


    I did a fresh start for my Windows 10 computer. I have done that in the past to clean out all the junk I got added on, but when I did this it not only removed all my old apps, but also many of the drivers. When I try to reinstall the drivers some fail to load. Is there any way I can go back to the previous version of 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.
