A smaller EXE file, containing the Macrium installer. Install Macrium using the two files, into your Win10 OS. Run Macrium and select the Rescue Media option. In the Advanced settings of the Media Creation pane, set the kit used, to the Win10PE WADK kit you downloaded. It will take a while to make the ISO file. There should be a later dialog to run the optical drive and burn a CD. I didn't test that part. Paul Just so I don't mess things up at this point; you said to install Macrium so I assume I double click V7 to install is that correct? Robert |

Robert When you set up Windows 10, the first account belongs to the Admin group. The UAC prompt is a request to use the power of the Admin group (elevate). If you deny the UAC prompt, or a program doesn't attempt to elevate, the program runs as a regular user. Windows installs don't want to "lose" the administrator power, so the first account belongs to administrator group. If you go to the Control Panels in Windows 10 and use the Accounts panel, you can define a second account if you want, one which is not a member of the administrator group. Right-click the Start button, from the menu select Run, in there type "control" enter to run Control Panels, and in there should be a users and account panel of some sort. There you can check your "current powers" or define an additional account. Paul |

Robert The UAC prompt appears, because Macrium needs the ability to work at the physical layer. And your first account on the machine belongs to the Admin group. When you boot the Macrium CD, that amounts to administrator powers as well. Although no UAC prompt appears on those screens, since it's a WinPE (Preinstall Environment). Paul |

Right-click the Start button, from the menu select Run, in there type "control" enter to run Control Panels, and in there should be a users and account panel of some sort. There you can check your "current powers" or define an additional account. Paul I'm not looking to 'set-up' Windows 10 at this point. I'm just trying to get through your instructions to create a Rescue CD to restore the bad Win 7 HD and get me back to where this all started. Robert The UAC prompt appears, because Macrium needs the ability to work at the physical layer. And your first account on the machine belongs to the Admin group. When you boot the Macrium CD, that amounts to administrator powers as well. Although no UAC prompt appears on those screens, since it's a WinPE (Preinstall Environment).

So your saying I need to create a Admin Account on Win10 and then do everything from there? Will the Admin Account see Macrium or do I have to do everything all over for that account as well? It took a bit of hunting but I finally found the Control Panel under Systems but I haven't added a Admin Account as yet till I heard back from you as to how to proceed with this. Robert When you set up Windows 10, the first account belongs to the Admin group. The UAC prompt is a request to use the power of the Admin group (elevate). If you deny the UAC prompt, or a program doesn't attempt to elevate, the program runs as a regular user. Windows installs don't want to "lose" the administrator power, so the first account belongs to administrator group. If you go to the Control Panels in Windows 10 and use the Accounts panel, you can define a second account if you want, one which is not a member of the administrator group.

Paul So should I try restoring the bad Win7 HD again? I'm afraid of messing it up since last time I thought I did it correctly since I didn't have any msg saying that the drive was busy but you said I was about to write over my backup HD with all the Mrimgs even though I had as the source the HD with the Mrimgs so I don't understand how I messed up?

This is the part of your instructions which has me
confused because your using a blank drive and I'm not. As I said, I labeled my HD with the Mrimgs and had it as the source just as in your pics but you said I still had it wrong. https://postimg.cc/6Tpd6JWk https://postimg.cc/kDRgvffV https://postimg.cc/ZWwmSdwt https://postimg.cc/y3hqrgDG Robert |

First I had to work out some sort of rule to make it safer. +-----+--------------------+------------------+ Win7 Disk | MBR | System Reserved F: | Windows 7 C: | +-----+--------------------+------------------+ +-----+---------------------------------------+ Backup Disk | MBR | Backups E: | +-----+---------------------------------------+ Here, you can see my two disk setup, which is in the process of doing a restore. The disk identifier in this case is consistent, and I haven't been fiddling with the disk in such a way that the authenticity of the disk identifier is in question. My backup file is on E: , I have two disk drives, and the store is going to the Windows disk (the one with a matching identifier). And this works, because I haven't been making backup images of the backup drive (which is possible, but unlikely). Backup images should always be stored on a different hard drive, than the "source" hard drive. Macrium will likely warn you, if you do otherwise. https://i.postimg.cc/GtXkMmj0/restore.gif If you are using your new Macrium CD, plus using an element of common sense, I don't see how an insurmountable problem could crop up while restoring over your Win7 original disk. It should come back up "Genuine". Because you did the backup when the OS was "Genuine". The only "variable" left, is what happens when Windows 10 runs. I don't know of a reason why that matters. Windows 10 can fiddle with the $MFTMIRR, it can disturb $BITMAP, but all of this is supposed to be "mostly transparent". (Using a Version 7 Macrium is supposed to be patched for this kind of issue. From a backup perspective.) Paul |
