How To Restore Windows 10 from a System Image

How To Restore Windows 10 from a System Image

In our past videos we have seen how to create a full backup and make a system image of our computer with Acronis True Image 2016. Now I want to show you how to restore the computer from the system image. We will be using Acronis True Image 2016 bootable CD or USB to recover this drive image. This is great if the computer is non bootable from a corrupt operating system or malware is stopping the system from starting up. You can use the Acronis bootable CD or USB to recover the system and restore the computer back using a backup image you have stored on your external hard drive.
I will show you the full process, step by step.
I will be using a Windows 10 operating system, but you can use any Windows operating system.

You can get Acronis True Image 2016 from here.

  • Sir please say me that will it work for me to recover my lost system image as well as the system settings?

  • The very best software for system restoration it has a very high success rate those at Acronis deserve alot of credit for putting out an incredible software every single year.

  • Sir I have a problem I have Lenovo laptop unfortunately my os 10 is destroyed without backup so i can install a dummy os 10 now can i backup my original Windows 10 os now after installing other os 10

  • Greeting Britec! Can you create videos how to backup and restore by Acronis on UEFI laptop? Thank in advance

  • if i add the system image on a bitlocker driver can i still access backup with the bootable usb

  • I had Acronis many years back, and I had a Western Digital hard drive. I have a flash drive to back up my files. Is the flash drive acceptable in  place of the external hard drive?

  • I just used the Acronis bootable media (created with Acronis TI 2016) to restore an image to my drive and on the first attempt it incorrectly attempted to restore a 193GB image to a 100GB drive. I didn't pick the 100GB drive as the target and, in fact, I couldn't because the option was greyed out due to it being too small. Despite the fact that I chose the correct drive (I'm sure because I always read the confirmation before doing an operation) it tried to restore to the wrong drive and failed halfway through with a "disk full" error. I figured maybe it was a fluke (the 100GB drive was connected via USB) so I tried the operation again. I didn't think my other drives were in danger as they were connected via SATA. The operation succeeded and I booted into Windows and opened Disk Management to see if there were any partitions on the 100GB drive. Unfortunately, it somehow deleted the partition from a 500GB drive as well. Luckily the data is replaceable (Steam games and .iso/utilities) but a pain nonetheless. The desktop application is crap as well. It costs $50 yet it's basically nagware. There are a bunch of utilities in the program that are locked behind a paywall. Not to mention the fact that it wouldn't even run on my laptop until I forced it to use the high performance graphics mode in CCC. It's a known issue that was supposed to have been fixed on the newest build. I never had an issue with Acronis TI 2013 and decided to upgrade to 2016, in part, because of the fact that the bootable media supports WiFi. Except it doesn't work. It recognizes my network adapter but never locates any WiFi networks. Every other Linux based utility I've used works just fine with my wireless NIC. I guess I'll go back to Clonezilla as I don't even trust TI 2013 now.

  • Will I be able to recover windows 10 with all registry logs and programs working from system image on a clean windows 10?

  • Is your boot disk that you restored to a ssd? Does acronis have any reported issues restoring from different types of mediums like a nas to a ssd or whatnot? Ghost used to have problems restoring just the mbr to a sata from a pata or something weird does acronis have any anomalies like that?

  • can i use AOMEI OneKey Recovery instead?

  • How about showing us how to restore an image from a hidden partition? Applying the image to the C: partition while ignoring my D: DATA partition, to me that is the holy grail of recovery. I may have my laptop away from home and not have access to my storage devices where my back-up is located.

  • Awesome video Brian! Thank you very much! Love the wallpaper a well. Where do you get them?

  • The trouble i've got is that I brought a digital copy of Acronis from their web sit. So I didn't receive a disk. How can I make a bootable cd or usb, Thanks.

  • Thank you Brian, this was so useful. still want to know how to make the acronis boot USB, I'm still having trouble getting this right. my version is 2015, do you think I should up grade to 2016.. thanks again Brian ..
