Windows 10: Windows 10 System Image Restore Fails On a New SSHD

Windows 10 x64 Pro system 1 TB HDD failed. Replaced with Seagate 2 TB SSHD drive. System Image Restore failed at the end with error - The Parameter is Incorrect error code 0x80070057. Tried rerunning restore and now I get error - Element not found 0x80070015. Is there something special I need to do to the drive before restoring the system image?

Windows 10 System Image Restore Fails For New SSHD

It might be the fact that you made the image of a traditional mechanical hard drive and you are trying to restore it to a hybrid drive. As the drive is part solid state and mechanical drive do you know which you are restoring the image to. I assume it
a the OS image. Windows would need special drivers to use the SSHD. Have you tried using installation media created with the Media Creation Tool

Welcome to TenForums @jmerritt

Most on this forum will tell you that Backup & Restore's 'system image' is unreliable and temperamental, recommending Macrium Relect (free) as a better solution.

They're probably right, though I use Backup & Restore with (mostly) success. I've not had that error for a long time, so don't remember how (or if) I got round it. This thread may help...
