It could be an image. It depends upon what is in the image file that was created. Are you possibly confusing an image with a clone?
An image takes the contents of the hard drive or SSD and writes all of it into one file. Sort of like a zip file except an image goes to the next level and includes partitions, not just folders and files.
A clone will take the contents of one drive, partitions and all, and write those contents to another drive.
Restoring a image is more than just copying the image file - it is extracting the contents of the image file to a hard drive or SSD.
And when you restore the image you can select to restore only one partition from it, or the entire hard drive that was included, or any combinations of partitions from it.
Still looks like you are NOT restoring the exact image to your SSD, as it only show your C partition. If you made a Complete Image of your OS drive from your old hard drive, then restored that image to your new SSD it would show all 4 partitions. Instead all I see in one partition.
In that 1st image his C drive on old drive is 697.87GB his new SSD drive is only 465.76GB so I would think in order for the image to be copied on to his new SSD that the C drive image needs to be shrunk DOWN to fit on the new SSD. The C drive alone is taking up all the space on the new SSD
