Windows 10: w7 do not recognize the image system of w10 in a back up?

I had updated windows 7 home premium to windows 10 then when the update was complete I created a backup image of the whole system.... and saved in an external HD. then my fixed disk died, replaced by a new fixed HD I can not recover the backed up windows ten image from my external HD ... is that due that when replaced the new HD I am contrived to recover the system with windows 7 home premium and windows 7 do not recognize the backed image of windows 10?

Don't want W10 at this time

Upgraded to W10. Didn't like it. Used option to go back to W7. W7 didn't reinstall everything including recovery dates that were set in W7. Had to install a System Image to get back to my W7 as it was at time of upgrade to W10. But recovery dates again
were not included. W7 working ok but now when trying to install updates W10 starts to auto install, so I can't just install updates forW7 and I can't get rid of the Pop-ups on the Task Bar telling me to now get W10. I DON"T WANT W10 until it works. I just
want the security updates for W7. How do I get rid of auto download of W10 & get rid of the W10 Pop-ups?

 

Home Networks or Workgroups connecting W7 W10 systems

I want to discuss possibilities to run home networks between mixed W10 and W7 nodes. My first information was, it is not possible. My own experiments lead to W7 not even recognizes the W10 node connected by the same Workgroup, there was a short time, W7
recognized but then W10 node again disappeared in the W7´s explorer.

If it is not possible to connect mixed W7 and W10 by an home network, how at least is possible a simple workgroup setup in both systems the same name, even tricky. It seems to me a problem to recognize user accounts crosswise to give access to certain datasets
on the other machine. Thank you for contributions, I hope I did not overlook a solution already given.

Another Test: Workgroup name the same, Username the same both logged in, password the same, the W10 machine appears at w7´s explorer, but no access allowed from W7´s explorer.

 

Need to either use Windows 10 recovery disc/USB to restore the Windows 10 system image, or clean install Windows 10 to the new HDD. You can't use Windows 7 to restore a Windows 10 image.
