Backup and Universal Restore ends up in Windows 10 repair
Hi,
I am using the Backupper Tech Plus to backup my computers. And it always worked so far.
Now I wanted to backup my Windows 10 machine (which is virtual for dev reasons) and restore it to my physical machine. (I have done that several times already).
Also I simply want to backup a physical machine to a new physical machine.
Those two processes are actually the same procedure. I do a system backup to a USB drive or NAS and restore it on another PC. I am using the WIN PE USB Boot device to boot Aomei. Then I select the backup file and do a universal restore to C.
I also convertet the new hard drive in the new machine with PartitionAssistant to a fresh MBR hard drive with one partition.
It restores perfectly without any errors.
But when I want to boot, I mostly end up in a Windows repar screen or get an error in the Windows Boot Manager.
WHAT???
I did the backing up and restoring procedure at least 5 times each. Also with different USB Boot sticks to be sure.
I just dont know why it wont work anymore!!
Do you have any ideas what I still can try???
Cheers
Mario

It is really weird... Aomei support sent me a pretty quick message that the Aomei Boot Repair ISO might help. And with one machine it actually did!! It was a thing of some seconds to fix the boot procedure. However on the other machine the "windows repair blue screen" still comes up all the time.
I tried to backup again, reformatted the new machine and new hard disk to MBR, set up everything new. THEN the restore withour any errors. And boom... after the first boot --> Windows Repair blue screen... really weird.
And, could you also confirm if the restored computer is using legacy boot mode when you boot it?
Please create a WinPE USB via AOMEI PE Builder, and then boot the restored computer from WinPE, then take a photo of the disk management so that we check the layout of the restored disk.
In addition, please also take a photo of the boot error so that we check further.
thanks for your messages. It is all MBR format. Legacy boot mode is also enabled. I did it all again and ran Partition Manager on the new system. Wiped everything created a new MBR partition and so on. I tried to Restore the Aomai Image via USB drive now. (first I was always trying to restore the Aomai imagea via network NAS)... now it works! I just did it the same way as always. ( and I did the restore via network many times as well... ) very strange!
Thanks for your overall quick support!!
"I did it all again and ran Partition Manager on the new system. Wiped everything created a new MBR partition and so on."---Did you boot the target computer from WinPE USB of AOMEI Partition Assistant to wipe the restored disk and then create a partition on it?
