Windows 10: System image and pc login question

I have a new laptop. I used microsoft when first opening new laptop. I also added a login password for the laptop. I then made a system image, then installed a few programs and made a second image. I had a fan issue so dell technician came and changed the fan and motherboard. When he was done, I restarted laptop and was asked to reset password. I put in a new password. So question is, if today i used system recovery to use the system image I made, will it work? Do system images include the login password for laptop?

System Image Problem

[table][tr][td]Version[/td] [td]Date[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]5.05[/td] [td]8/03/2009[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]5.08[/td] [td]7/21/2009[/td] [/tr] [/table]
Which one is newer?
Only 5.05 was offered on HP for the machine I linked.
The description danced around some of the anomalies we're seen with drives.

Since only 5.05 was offered, I questioned 5.08
Guess we know the answer now - 5.05 failed to flash.
We could spend time trying to figure that out, but IMO it's better on the back burner for now

I think the next step is to try the Macrium sleight of hand to get the System Image restored.
I'd like to get the System Image up and running to do the follwoing

• Copy Nick's data to a folder off of the restored System Image C: drive
  
  
• run a Belarc Advisor audit to collect license keys for Nick's software
  
  
• there might be other data collection that Nick can do in preparation for the final step

The final step is a clean install, install up-to-date MS and 3rd party software, and restore the copied personal data.

Nick was having difficulty locating the outlook files in the System Image - so getting it back running live is the best I can think of.

Thoughts, suggestions, and objections are always welcome and considered

 

Reinstall System Image Question

Reinstall System Image Question –
When saving a system image in Windows 10, it saves it as “Windows Image Backup.” I then add the date to the listing and save it. Therefore, I have a list of backups that read like “Windows Image Backup 9-4-19.”
So, this is my question.
If I need to reinstall my system image, does Windows allow me to choose any of the backups in my list to reinstall?
Thanks,
Jerry

Bree –
I will probably use your suggestion: “To answer that specific question, Microsoft creates sytem images in the WindowImageBackup folder. It will ONLY look in this folder for images to restore. If you rename WindowsImageBackup in order to keep an old image, then you will have to rename it back to WindowsImageBackup before you can restore the image it contains.” I was using Windows in case Macrium fails.

However you did answered my question – thank you. Before marking it solved, I have a follow-up to your Macrium link. I do have Macrium on my PC and I have made a Macrium Rescue CD disk. Part Five explains restoring an image and using the disk as a boot.

My question is at what point do I insert the Rescue disk in my PC for the boot? This is my thinking. These are the steps I think I need to take:

1 Access the boot menu via F12
2. Select CD/DVD/CD-RW Device from the boot options
3. Insert the Macrium Rescue CD disk
4. What do I do next?
