Windows 10: When restoring W10 from drive, do you get to choose which drive to restore to?

I'm trying to restore W10 from a usb thumb drive. When I go to Restore, does it give me a choice of which drive to restore TO? I REALLY don't want it to simply overwrite my C: drive, but want it on a different partition which I've already created. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks.

:)

 

Free hard drive backup/restore program?

I am looking for a free (freeware) program that will back up and restore a hard drive. I'm looking to clone a few external hard drives. If the program will backup the used space instead of the whole drive this will be awesome! Thanks for any suggestions.

Obviously you're looking for something besides your Xp Pro utility that does this?

1. I assume that you've already created a Rescue Disk. Boot up with it.
2. Click on restore tab and browse for the backup image on the external HD.
3. Select your current Windows drive as destiunation drive.
4. Click on each partition of the destination drive, then click "Delete Existing Partition" until empty as shown:
   
   
   
5. Next click on first partition (400MB) drag and drop to the destination, do the same for 300MB.
   NOTE: You might have an extra MSR partition which was not shown with disk management. If so, do the same as for 400MB and 300MB.
6. Now, drag and drop C drive from source then click on "Restored Partition Properties" as shown. Enter New partiiton size. In your case, would be 150GB.
   
   
   
7. Drag and drop next partition and repeat step 6, enter 150GB.
8. Drag and Drop the last partition then click on Maximum size so it would take the rest.
   Final layout should look like this: 400MB, 300MB, 150GB Cdrive, 150GB, ~130G
9. Click OK ->Next->Finish
10. Once done, just to make sure it will boot. Click on "Fix Windows Boot Problems" and follow the screen.
11. Reboot.
