    You cannot recover a working windows system just by copying all the files. There's more too it than that, there are other partitions needed besides the partition containing your C: drive.

    To restore a working windows system you need to make a system image of it, this contains everything needed to restore a working system. Macrium Reflect Free is most often recommended for that.

    No, I'm saying that a copy of all the files and folders from your C: drive is not a working system. It's a backup of the files, and useful if you need to find a file you accidentally deleted. But copying it back to C: to replace what's there will not work. It will break the system and make it un-bootable.

    Your Acronis is the only way you can restore a working C: drive. Though I prefer to use Macrium.
