System restore failed

Question

Hi i sent my computer for repair and they replaced my hd for no reason :( i had a complete system image back up in case this happened but the system re-image failed and i got this message.

This is really sad and i dont understand why its so complicated to backup and restore your entire system.

Answer 1

Also not sure why this was moved to Windows 7 I'm on Windows 10

Answer 2

I went to backup and restore and backedup the entire computer including a complete system image. This should have backed up all files and created an exact copy of the system.

Answer 3

After getting this error my computer won't boot​ Windows or let me repair or reinstall windows

Answer 4

Sorry, but I suspect you are using wrong terminology and the correct terminology makes a big difference.

Image is a bit by bit copy of the hard drive.  Not individual files.

Backup consists of individual files and folders copied to an external drive.

Please be more precise and complete in your question.
