Windows 10: Second Image Failure Error

Created image with W7 Backup & Restore.
First I got parameter failed (0X80070057). Rebooted to W10 installation via USB and got as far as pulling up the most recent image. When I checked progress at 2.30am, I had this error: 0X800703ED. Without an OS, I then booted from USB again and reinstalled Win10.

I may have to restore using a .pst that is a few months old. But first you have to hold a shotgun to my head.
I have these files in my external drive:
Hard Disk Image File (2)
11 XML Documents

I ran scans and checks the other day and there was nothing, as far as I know, to indicate any of the above are in an UNusable state.
Do I need to do something to these files to make them readable? Bootable?

When I right click and attempt to Mount, this is the error: The disk image isn't inititalized, contains partitions that aren't recognizable, or contains volumes that haven't been assigned drive letters. Please use Disk Mgmt snap-in to make sure that the disk, partitions, and volumes are in a usable state.

Are my files salvageable? Why am I struggling?
Is one option easier or better than the other?

Thank you.

After reading while waiting - This is a different build than the saved image. Did MS screw me out of any chances to salvage my data?

Windows 10 Pro Error codes returned after failing making a second System Image Backup

After creating a successful image backup on my second hard drive, I placed that backup into an
identifiable folder. Then I perform some system changes and start an image bakup again however it will now fail with the following error messages/codes:

- There was a failure compacting the virtual hard disk on the backup location. (0x80780151).

-Additional Information:

The process cannot access the file because its being used by another process. (0x80070020).

After a reboot its possible to create a system image backup again.

This was not happening with Windows 8.1 Pro

How to execute a second System Image backup that will avoid this failure?

 

KB3194798 keeps failing to install

I keep on having a similar trouble. Updates KB3193494, KB3194798, KB3197954 and KB3200970 keep on failing. The computer makes a forced restart every second evening - and fails in error 0x80071AB1 to install updates and then rolls back. This HP EliteBook
8560W computer has Windows 10 Pro with Anniversary update (Version: 1607, OS build: 14393.105) and is equipped with Samsung 850 Pro 1TB SSD drive.

I hope that I'm looking at the key to solving this.
Inside Drive Management.

When I clicked on the first image in HD, from within DM, the message said it's already attached. When I clicked the second, it then attached,
