Solved System Image does work

This is for a system image restore. Not system restore


I wrote wrong title instead Sorry

I wanted to try Ubunto 12.10 on an old dell laptop that i had running Windows 8. It would not allow me to use the installer because of problems with Windows 8, so i decided to wipe the drive and install Ubunto fresh.
I had a bunch of problems with the wireless connections and software and decided (since i did put it on a desktop already) to forget it.
I had an system image that I made last month on an external HD on this laptop using the system image in Windows 8

Hooked up my external HD and the system image disk I made- and in 1 hour I was back up and running
All i have to do is do one months worth of security updates, and a few minor stuff but i did not have to reinstall Windows 7 then sp1 then Windows 8 upgrade.

So this is proof the system image in windows 8 works like a charm!

Great news Robin.

Just to help clarify to avoid confusion for others with the technical terms, "Restore points" and "System Restore" is different than a "System Image" and "System Image Recovery".

Ya I realized it after I typed it. I meant system image. Not restore. I am not not at the office now but when I get back I will re edit it

No worries. Title edited.

You should see some of my oops. LOL

Bit of shame it is being removed, then.

thanks brink for the fix to the title

Luckily there's the built-in custom refresh image feature that can be used instead. Not quite the same, but can be used for Windows 8 itself instead of selected drives.

Unfortunately, it isn't an image in the same sense.

Good news for 3rd party imaging program vendors, I suppose.

Tru dat.
