Windows 10 Restore question?
I recently upgraded to Windows 10 from 7. I purchased a second Seagate Back-up Plus 2 TB external HD and used the Windows OS backup feature to make an image of my PC. It took about 5 hours to complete the image. Upon completion I looked at the image on the external HD and found the image file is 25.5 KB. I have a second Seagate 2 TB external that I have been using for 3 or 4 years with an image of a second computer using Seagate's Disc Wizard that shows the image at 205 GB. I will mention that I can't use Seagate Disk Wizard to create an image on the new drive because it is not compatible with my Anti-virus software Web-Root.
My concern is if my computer were to crash as it did about 4 months ago and the hard drive needed to be replaced, will this new image on the new Seagate HD be available to restore my computer? When I made the image, Windows asked where to copy the image to and the new Seagate 2 TB as selected, but a file 25.5 KB in size seems a little small or am I missing something??
