    Is it possible to replace all data from non-bootable backup?


    Hello,

    Bear with me as I have had this catastrophic issue I've been dealing with for the past 24 hours...

    Long story short: I cloned my 500gb samsung ssd to my new Intel 2tb ssd using acronis. Everything was working well so I deleted my 500gb samsung ssd. Then i restarted and the intel ssd wouldn't boot. i tried everything and nothing worked. Yes; EVERYTHING. For 10 hours straight. So I gave up.

    This is what I did; I installed a fresh windows 10 on the Samsung SSD. From there I was able to access all the content of the non bootable ssd. I created a back up of the entire computer on the intel ssd. I saved this back up on the samsung ssd. I was hoping i could replace all the data, software, and settings easily to a new windows 10 install.

    I erased the intel ssd and installed a fresh new windows 10. I am now on the working 2tb intel ssd. I am on a msi gs65 and have the 500gb samsung ssd on the second drive slot. Thus, i have access to the backup made through acronis of the unbootable intel ssd on the 500gb ssd.

    What i need help with (if even possible)... is to replace all the data, settings, and software on this intel ssd from the backup i described. I will appreciate the help!

    Thanks

    TL;DR: Created a backup of a non-bootable SSD.

    Created a fresh Windows 10 install.

    I want to take this non-bootable back-up, take all the data, settings, etc, and slap it on this new install so that it works exactly as the non-bootable worked before it decided to stop booting.

    Is this even possible?

    Thanks.

    Without trying to work out precisely what you have where and in what form:

    If you have a clean installed Win 10
    and you have an image of a non-booting compatible Win 10
    and in that image, the content of C: is instact
    then
    you can copy that C: and replace the C: (Windows) partition in your booting clean installed Win 10.

    You can do that by restoring from your disk image ONLY the Windows partition.

    You may then find automatic repair runs, or you need to run Startup repair.
