Use a backup Windows 10 in Windows 7?

I was wondering if I can use a backup created in 10 Windows on a Windows 7 computer. I need to know that a friend made a backup of win10 and now his phone give her all sorts of questions while she wants to come back to win7 with a new clean install (format, etc.). Thought I would ask the pros before moving forward, help please!

She needs to use the backup feature in Windows 7 in the control panel to save its files on external media before falling back to Windows 7.

  • I use a blu - ray disc as my backup media by using the backup and restore, but windows will say still unable to perform this task

    I have a HP h9 - 1250t and can never use a blu ray disc tp save my work using the command from the windows Explorer which is strange since I use blu - ray disc in my dell xps 14, any help on this?

    Hello edilbertojun,

    Backup stores data in a compressed format on optical drives and blu - ray is an optical device device, I don't think you can use Windows built in backup and restore functionality.

    You must use a backup solution 3rd party backup on the Blu - ray disc.

    I may be wrong so that other members of the community can be better able to solve this problem.

  • Backup Windows install acer aspire 4330

    HI, team of Acer, I use Linux (dual-boot) with windows. I would like to remove windows, how do I backup windows install so if something goes wrong, I can just pop in a disc and reinstall windows? If any other information is needed I can provide.

    Well, while being in disagreement with your decision, I have found this procedure to create a recovery disc for an Acer laptop. Please keep in mind that the process may vary slightly with different patterns:

    To create your recovery backup disks, follow these steps:

    1. Click on the Start menu, and then click all programs.
    2. In the list of programs, click the Acer file, and then click the Acer eRecovery Management .
    3. User account control Windows may request your permission to run this program, click Yes.
    4. In the Acer eRecovery Management window left click backup, and then click create a default disk factory.
      Note: If you use a laptop or netbook, you will be asked to connect your power adapter, make sure that the power adapter is plugged in before continuing, and then click OK.
    5. In the page to create a default disc factory select the drive you want to use for burning the recovery media, and then click Start.
    6. The disc is ejected whenever he has completed burning, if several drives are required insert a new disc when you are prompted, and then click OK.

  • Backup Windows XP does not seem to be clear the attribute archive when you perform a normal backup.

    Backup Windows XP does not seem to be clear the attribute archive when you perform a normal backup.

    I do a backup of the 'Normal' at the beginning of the month.  Then, at the end of the first week, I do a "Differential" backup (using the same "backup job" but change to type "Incremental".)

    Well the difference is huge and to study, I see that a lot of files that I don't know that I didn't take the week since the 'Normal' backup have the Archive attribute set.

    Is the 'Normal' compensation not the bit mode backup of archive?  Another thing would be randomly set the attributes to archive?  Is there a ghost in the machine?  Inquiring minds want to know.

    Hello

    Differential backup marks files as having been backed up (in other words, archive attribute is not cleared). This is normal.

  • Backup Windows will not open

    When I try to start the Windows backup or by going into Start Programs/Accessories/backup or by double-clicking the backup file, I am interested in the restoration of I get a small blank window with the title "backup utility".  The Task Manager shows that the ntbackup.exe process is running, but it is does accumulate no time CPU and do no readings or writings.

    I will try to reinstall the program, but since I have XP Pro instead of XP Home my Windows CD doesn't have the '\ValueAdd\Msft\Ntbackup on the CD folder '.

    Any suggestions on why ntbackup.exe behaves this way?  Is it possible to get the installer ntbackup so I can reinstall?

    I don't know if it's important or not, but last year I installed Norton Security Suite, which includes its own backup utility.  Unfortunately, its default filters save the Directory Application Data that I need to restore, where my need to use the utility backup window.

    Hi MalcolmDavis,

    The Windows backup utility is already built into Windows XP Professional. Try these steps and check the result.

    Step 1: Run SFC (System File Checker) scan to see if all the system files are missing or corrupt
    a. Click Start, click Run, type cmd and click ok.
    b. at the command prompt, type sfc/scannow and press ENTER.
    c. If you are prompted, enter the Windows XP CD in order to complete the scan.
    Note: The version of the service pack on CD must match the version of the service pack installed on the computer.
    d. restart the computer and check the difference.

    See Windows XP Scan SFC

    Step 2: If the problem persists, check if you can run backup in safe mode to see if another program is causing the problem in normal mode
    a. see the Description of the Mode of course in Windows XP startup options
    b. in the menu advanced startup options select Safe mode and press on enter.
    c. check to see if you can run backup.

    Step 3: If the problem does not persist in safe mode, check if a non-Microsoft program is causing the problem
    see How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State .
    b. in the article, follow the method 1 and method 2 to find out if any program is causing the problem.
    c. Once you have found the culprit that is the program that is causing the problem, then uninstall it.

  • Error 8100037 when executing a backup (Windows 7)

    I use the backup tool included with Windows 7. Today, the backup fails with the 81000037 error.

    I found two possible solutions for this error, but none applies to me

    1. Deletion of junctions of type mounted Volume (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/973455).
      Unfortunately, none of the junctions I listed with dir/al/s were of type mounted Volume.
    2. Run a full scan (http://pagestart.com/win7br0x8100003701.html). Did. Same mistake.

    So, what to do next? Backups are essential.

    I suggest you use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

    I did, and the tool reported no problem.

    Meanwhile, after a reboot, and implementing a weekly update, my backup works again. Which makes me wonder whether the problem was related to the update - maybe I shouldn't save my PC while an update is in progress.

    Thanks for the help!

    original title: backup Windows 7 error code 0 x 81000037

    Hello

    I have the same problem two days ago. However, I had installed Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) at the beginning when I bought my computer Dell (dec 2010) (I have not used McAfee). Two days ago, I ran backup on my disk network as usual and got the error message, but I noticed that the MSE has detected a threat to java. I decided to uninstall all downloads in two days ago, and the most important was to run a COMPLETE SCAN of MSE. He caught 3 java threats and withdrawn. After that, I ran backup again and it worked perfectly. I hope that this experience will help someone when I post my response.

    My computer is a desktop i-5, Dell, Windows 7 Ultimate, my network drive is connected to Linksys E3000 of Seagate.

    Note 1: I regularly MSE update later.

    Note 2: I went through the so-called "reparse points" and without success.

    Note 3: Download those that I uninstalled everything came from Apple (please don't hurt me I don't like Apple.) I just wanted to test in all circumstances.)

    Exactly the same problem and same solution: run Full scan in MSE (which found a few 'malware' which is associated javea), then uninstall java worked well!

  • Windows 7 backup error: "backup Windows ignored C:\Users\... because it's on corrupt C:\ drive.»

    Hello

    I bought a new computer recently with Windows 7 installed and regularly use Windows backup since my purchase with no problems.  However, a couple of days, I tried to backup my system and received a message saying that the backup completed, but some files were ignored.  As soon as the journal view, that's what I find:

    Windows skipped C:\Users\Jonathan\Documents backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.
    Windows skipped C:\Users\Public\Documents backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.
    Windows skipped C:\Users\Jonathan\Music backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.

    Backup Windows ignored C:\Users\Jonathan\Saved games as it is on corrupt C:\ drive.
    Windows skipped C:\Users\Jonathan\Searches backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.

    It seems that Windows Backup jumped basically every valuable piece of data on my PC.  I did a search for answers and it seems that when people have this problem backup Windows still do not know the same libraries (pretend to prove that it is not a problem of material with the HARD drive). and the only suggestion I could find was to run the chkdsk utility, then attempt a backup again.  I have since run the utility chkdsk twice and it found no errors, and I continue to have this problem when you save.

    Beyond running the chkdsk utility and reboot for a third time, can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance.

    I think that this is the case because of a virus (incase your pc is not protected or a new threat has developed).

    Please install an antivirus.
    I suggest Microsoft Security Essentials.Scan all the files and then try again.
    Or try freeing up space on the drive you store the backup in the c DRIVE.
    or try to move your important files to an external USB key or hard drive and format your pc :)
    That will solve almost all your problems.
    In case you need help with anything else or this does'nt resolve your problem, mail me or reply to this post of mine.
