Image backup in Windows dual boot PC (7/10)?
I have tended over the years to use Windows' own image backup, which I have found no less reliable than any 3rd. party software I have used (like Macrium).
I use Windows 7 far more often than 10 on my dual boot PC, but gradually that is changing... unfortunately. Still much prefer Windows 7, but obviously that's becoming less and less viable as time goes on.
My question is, on such a dual-boot PC, will an image of the Windows 10 drive (on a different physical disc from Windows 7, all SSDs BTW) made in Windows 7 work as a boot partition if it were restored via Windows 7 to the same location? Or would it be unbootable for some reason? Seems to me that an image is an image is an image, but...
O/S = Win7 x64 & Win10 Pro
Thanks.
