Windows 10: Restore Windows 10 backup from another system

Hello,

We just had a drive fail on a system and want to restore previously backed up files from our NAS. However, after installing Windows on the new drive, the system has a new name, so the NAS backups do not show. How can we get around this issue?

Thanks!

installing windows 10 backup and restore later

1. Backup Vista
2. Upgrade Vista->Windows 7 -> Windows 10. Get activated.
3. Backup Windows 10.
4. Clean Install Windows 10. Make sure still activated
5. Backup a fresh copy of Windows 10
6. Restore

To perform step 4 i will need to have downloaded an iso and create a dvd or usb to boot from.....so will not this ISO be ok and the one you mention ?

 

System Restore & Backup For Windows10

What I mean is that in Windows7 there is a facility for auto-backup at certain dates (especially when Windows performs an update) from where one can restore the system to an earlier and trouble free state.

I noticed that there is no such auto system in Windows10.

Thank you.

Regards,

 

Backup and restore for Windows 10

Why don't you answer his question? He wants to know what is the Windows 10 equivalent for Backup and Restore in Windows 7. If it is "Backup and Restore (Windows 7)", say so. If it is "File History", say so. In step 2, say what the result of doing the step
is.

If it is "File History", it appears to be a useless replacement. It offers to delete the existing backup from the old laptop when it is first run! Whoa! It also requires the external backup disk to be plugged in whenever you are using your laptop so files
can be copied to it as you are creating or modifying them, so convenient on the train unless you have an extremely long USB cable from home or a pedal generator for the hard disk.

We bought an ASUS laptop with Windows 10 on it for my wife's use and cannot get Backup and Restore (Windows 7) to restore her files from her old Windows 7 laptop.
