Windows 10: Windows 10 won't recognize Windows 7 backup

Good day,

I recently bought a new Dell PC with Windows 10 pre-installed. I have a 12 year old PC with Windows 7. On my old PC I made a backup to my WD-HDD. Unfortunately for me, Windows 10 on my new PC won't recognize my WD-HDD with the backup in backup and restore Windows 7. How do I fix this? I even tested on a laptop with Windows 8 and there the WD-HDD got recognized instantly.

Help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

:)

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.
