How do I find windows 10 restorepoints?

[Need help1996]

I want to make like a usb iso or image with the restorepoint. Can I make one like that from one of my windows drive restorepoints? I recently cloned a ssd from a 250gb to a 500gb with samsung migration software. but it seems like the cloning software did not copy my restorepoints so I cant use those from a perfectly good windows partition and I do not want to run into an issue with this new drive Iam using. Please answer quick because I do want to format the old drive and use it for more additional storage.

Windows Restore Points are maps of changed sectors on the disk, and they refer to the sectors by absolute location on the disk. If you clone a disk the files are not necessarily restored to the exact same sector locations on the cloned disk as they were on the source disk. When Windows boots, it detects this and deletes the restore points since they now are invalid. You will find a "Volsnap" error entry in the Windows System log saying something like "The shadow copies of volume C: were aborted upon detection" when this happens.

As far as I know, the only way that you can preserve the restore points and shadow copies is to create an image of the disk in sector-by-sector mode and then restore that image to the target disk in sector-by-sector mode, which forces the sectors to end up in the same absolute locations on the target disk.

as it says above, it appears the samsung software doesn't clone sector by sector so its not making an exact copy of the old ssd on the new one.

But can I still find the restorepoint?

It exists on the old ssd BUT you can't just copy that file off the old ssd and put it on the new one, as the file locations are not the same unless you can find a cloning software that will copy sector by sector.

Even if you copy them (which I bet you can find a way to physically copy the data) it's not going to do you any good. You aren't going to be able to re-associate that copied restore point if/when you copied it back to use it.

BTW, depending on what version of win 10 you are running now, every time you get a Version update, the system restore points are deleted anyway. The latest version update was last month so you may not be gaining a lot by trying to recover them.
