If I understand you correctly, it won't work. As NavyLCDR said, with a Windows-made image the partition you are restoring to has to be larger than your image. And, you can not restore an image to the same partition. In other words, once the restore is completed, the partition holding the original image must still be intact.
So, if your HDD is 500GB and your image is 200GB, you could partition off 260+GB, clean install W10 onto it, then run recovery to restore the image. If your image is greater than (roughly) 200GB, it can't be done on that drive and you'll have to bite the bullet and buy something.

I have Macrium Reflect set up to run backups on a daily schedule. When a backup starts, Macrium pops up a small window that gives me 30 seconds to cancel. Then the popup disappears and the backup runs. Now the only way I have to know if Macrium is...
I have Easeus todo backup, I never use my computer while it's running a full backup because I think it might cause a problem with the backup.
I can't find any info on this subject.
I run Macrium reflect free & create an image every week but have always assumed it created a new image (due to my choosing full backup every time) but had used a small 1TB HD for backup so didn't notice anything amiss. Recently I began using a 4TB...
Hi all,
I'm trying to set up a laptop for my girlfriend. It's a Lenovo S206. The laptop has a nice little 'one touch' button that lets you automatically restore the laptop to any previous point with a clean re-install. Worked great as win 8 but...
