    What do i do if restoring windows 11 takes longer than 4 hours?


    i restored my windows 11 and after being on a loading screen which said something like “restoring the registry” for over an hour my pc restarted and i have now been on a black screen with a spinning circle at the bottom for over 3 hours. I want to know if i should keep waiting or if i should do something to fix this as all the articles ive read online either say that the restoration process should take 30-45 minutes or max an hour. If i do need to do something to fix this then what do i need to do?

    :)

    Windows XP PRO error after restore

    System restore is handy when it works like it did for me 2 days ago saving the need to reinstall all of my software as well as windows, id suggest using norton Ghost 12 for an excellent system restore feature.

    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.
