You should not have issue with in doing this.  Please describe what you mean here.  The more detail the better.

I make an image of the ssd full disk mode restore it to hd and it will NOT boot looks like all the files are there

I presume you are going from smaller SSD to larger HDD. What is the capacity of the HDD?  Is your machine UEFI booted?  Do you get any error message or just blank screen?  Are you using the user created boot media to perform the recovery or are you attempting to do this from the Windows installed application?

Answer each of the questions above please.

1tb is the size of both disks but have also go from a 256gb to 1tb and had the same results.
I'm new to this whole UEFI and guessing that could be the problem (I think it is) no error message computer keeps rebooting looking for boot disk.

 

Your last question I don't understand. I'm just doing a full disk image and then restore to extenal hard drive. then replaceing that hard drive
