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.
