Western Digital restore problem
Sorry if this is the wrong forum
I've been using ATI that came with my WD disk and in the past have successfully restored.
Yesterday after a bad WIN 8.1 upgrade I attempted to restore the backup but it failed. In the last couple of months I have added a SSD(Samsung) and copied the OS from the WD drive which is now used for data. ATI happily runs as my system still has a WD drive present, but I'm wondering if the restore will only restore onto a WD drive?
I downloaded the trail of the full ATI and it worked

Well after several hours on support with MS I still haven't got a licensed system. The state of play ATM is quite strange. The MS support guy(level 3) told me as an aside that MS no longer recommends imaging software. I can only assume that MS does something very funcky with the MBR or track 0. He also said restoring to SSD was "problematic". I don't know how much to believe him because when I suggested rolling back to a restore point he asserted that only programs and drivers were backuped and the registry wasn't! It does look like like I've lost my HKLM/Software/WindowsNT/CurrentVersion which the MS guy thinks is ATI fault but I find the neat removal of a registry key by ATI to be unbelievable. I personally thinks it software
