When the Windows operating system crashes, the disk where the Windows is located is damaged or you want to replace the disk where Windows is located with a new disk, you can restore the original Windows operating system from the system backup image created before.
Step 1. Install and run Hasleo Backup Suite, there are two ways to open the image file you want to restore:
Method 1. Click "Home" button in the navigation bar, then click the "Actions" => "Restore" on the system backup task you want to restore.
Method 2. Click "Restore" button in the navigation bar, and click "Browse image to restore" button in the operation area, then select the system backup image file you want to restore from the open file dialog box.
Step 2. Select the backup version you want to restore, then click the "Next" button.
Step 3. Choose the location you want to restore the Windows operating system to, Hasleo Backup Suite provides two ways: Normal mode and Advanced mode.
Normal mode: Restore Windows operating system to the destination disk and all partitions on the destination disk will be destroyed. You just need to select the destination disk you want to restore the Windows operating system to, then click "Next".
Advanced mode: Restore Windows operating system to a contiguous space (it can be a combination of multiple existing partitions and free space) on the destination disk and keep other unselected partitions that exist on the destination disk. Please enable "Advanced mode" and select the contiguous space you want to restore the Windows operating system to on the destination disk, then click "Next".
Step 4. Adjust the size and location of the partitions according to your needs, then click "Proceed". A warning message may pop up to tell you that all data on the selected disk or partition(s) will be destroyed, click the "Yes" to continue if you do not have important data on the selected disk or partition(s). Please note that Hasleo Backup Suite may require a reboot to Pre-OS to complete the restore operation, just follow the prompts.
Step 5. Hasleo Backup Suite begans restoring the Windows operating system to the destination disk. Please note that the time required for restore operation is related to the size of the data that needs to be restored, so please be patient.
After the restore operation is completed, restart the computer and enter the BIOS setup, change BIOS to boot from the destination disk.
