Windows 10 Upgraded

[Stephen12]

Hello I have upgrade Win 7 64bit to Win 10 64bit. I have created a back up image to an internal SATA HDD. I have created a back up image to an external HDD. The drives being formatted to MBR. I have followed the instructions from a number of websites most carefully. On trying to re image my computer with either drive connected (obviously not both). The set up information can not be found. I have repeated the process with the drives formatted to GPT... again the set up information can not be found. Anyone got an idea please... I'm at a loss as to how to proceed on this one.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

I have created a back up image

How did you create the "back up image"?
Is the image a "system" image or is it a "disk" image?

On trying to re image my computer

How are you "trying to re image"?
Are you using native utilities or third party software?

Steps to perform a full image backup in Windows 10

1- Right-click on the Start button and open Control Panel

2- Click File History

3- In File History, click the System Image Backup link in the bottom-left corner of the screen

4- Connect an external USB hard drive to the computer with sufficient free space

5- The backup wizard prompts you to choose from one of the three options to save the backup. For instance, just select the hard drive you just connected. However, you can also back up to blank DVDs and a network share, but these options are likely to slow down the backup process

6- Click Next

7- Confirm the prompt to backup and hit Start backup

This process could take around 10 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the amount of data to be backed up. However, you can continue to use your computer normally when the backup is running in the background.
