restore a backup of a Windows 8/UEFI disk on another PC?

Thread needs solution

hi,

I have a backup of a lenovo Q190 on a USB disk.

I now want to test restoring the backup. I connect the disk containing the backup together with an empty disk to a windows 7 PC. when I now try to restore the backup in disk mode I get this error message:

and the help file tells me:

==
Warning! After migration, the operating system will not be able to boot from the destination disk in BIOS. If you want to boot from the destination disk after migration, you need to enable UEFI booting in your system (see Unified Extensible Firmware Interface section), and then restart the operation.
==

will the restored disk boot in the original system?

Hello Pat,

please read more about system migration scenarios here.

Find the scenario similar to yours and check all variants you have.

And here you can find best practices on how to test that your backups can be used for recovery.

Let me know, if you have any additional questions.

Thank you.
