Why Learning How To Restore A Windows 10 Image Backup From The Login Screen (2020) Is Important:

WARNING! This Speed Technique Is Considered A Destructive Reset. This Tip Completely Reinstalls Microsoft Windows Onto The Device. Even Though It Gives The Option, Windows May Not Successfully Retain All Critical User Files. I Recommend A Complete Backup Of Critical User Files.

Why Would Someone Create A Windows 10 Backup Image?

Hard drive images are powerful because they are a snapshot of the existing operating system in that specific moment in time. This snapshot contains all software currently installed on the operating system as well as their corresponding licenses. On top of that, an image contains all critical system and user files. So a backup image contains almost everything a user might need to recover from a data catastrophe.

There are a variety of reasons why one would restore an image backup of their Windows 10 operating system. The primary reason is to reset the computer operating system to a point where the user knows is stable. If an event occurs that causes the Windows 10 operating system to become unstable, then restoring an earlier static image of the operating system is a great way to get a fresh start.

Why Would One Restore A Windows 10 Backup Image?

Another reason for restoring an image is to recover lost files or software. Perhaps, as with this guide, the user accidentally destroyed important files. Restoring an image that contained the files would allow them to recover those files. In fact, some users create a new image and then restore an older image simply to copy critical system files to an external drive. After saving the files to an external drive, they can then restore the original image.

There are various methods to restore a hard drive image. Unfortunately, a hard drive image restorations are destructive. This means the existing operating system will be overwritten by the image. The fact that restoring an image is destructive is the purpose of a high-risk assessment for this particular tip. It is always a good idea to backup any critical system files prior to performing an image recovery.
