Help please
I am in a panic!
I backed up Win 10 before attempting some changes. The changes predictably failed.
So I restored my verified disk backup to a formatted GPT disk but it fails to boot. Something called Intel Boot Agent appears and fails. I have never seen it before. I have UEFI bios enabled.
How do I restore bootabilty? I tried Acronis MBR format with the same result.
This is serious, everything for the past 10 years is on that backup so sleep is impossible!
I live in hope,
David

Many thanks for the advice. I am afraid that at 82 I'm not as switched on as I used to be. I'll readdress this AM

1. I have restored my disk backup to an SSD gpt disk from my laptop using latest Acronis 2021 like the backup.
2. I have assumed that Acronis has advanced enough in the last 5 years to recognise any irregularities and deal with them.
3. The restored ssd now has a small 128mb (fs 'other') partition flagged 'gpt,msr' followed by E: NTFS 931gb GPT Primary with my win10 using 62gb.
4. Have not tried to boot it yet because it's past my bedtime! Anything I should know before I try? Does that'other' partition require attention?
5.Confused by 'restore must only be done using the same boot mode' as I saw nothing about this when I restored??? How do I change the mode prior to the recovery?
Thanks again,
David
