I just did a Win10 clean install and want to make a System Image backup before putting my programs on the PC. I went to Control Panel > System and Security > Backup and Restore and user the “Create a system image” to create the image of the clean install.
I wanted to test to see if the image was working and would be recognized by going to Advanced Startup and booting into recovery environment and selected recovery from image.
The PC restarts and I get the menu to select the backup. By default it looks for a DVD drive, but there’s no backups listed as I don’t have an optical drive. I have the option to navigate to another location (Network or Disk). However, if I try to navigate to another drive/device, I am prompted to load drivers for these devices.
Without being able to load the driver, I can’t check to see the Image Backup works.
Why is windows asking me for drivers? How do I get access to USB devices on which my image is stored?
Can I just load a driver from my C://Windows/system32/drivers folder? I looked in device manager for my USB drivers and tried loading them during the System Image screen and it didn’t work.
