    Restoring files with a system image on a new device


    Hello. I had to send off my device to be repaired by the manufacture and before I did I made a system image. Long story short they messed up and had to send me a new laptop instead of my original device.Now however I realise that because it's a different device, all be it the same model, I can't do a restoration from the system image. Is there any way to restore my files from the system image successfully to the new device?

    :)

    To be able to help you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the following details:



    • Are you trying to restore the system image or create a system image?
    • Are you able to see the external drive in File Explorer?

    In the meantime, I suggest you to refer the articles on

    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.

    Restoring files with a system image on a new device

    Windows 10 System Image Restore

    Finally managed to copy the Windows System image from my NAS to an HDD connected to my laptop using USB 2.

    Started up the 'dead' PC (not the laptop) using the Widow's Repair disk on DVD and connected the HDD with the system image using a USB caddy. Connected another new HDD where the original system disk was - so far so good?

    Followed the steps on the system repair disk which found the system image on the USB HDD and the restore process seemed to start ok? The process started restoring the c: drive but stopped almost immediately with the following message:-

    'The system image restore failed.

    Error details: The volume does not contain a recognized filesystem. Please make sure that all required file system drivers are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted. (0x800703ED)'

    In DISKPART the new HDD is listed as Disk 2 No Media

    Where to next ... ?
