Otherwise, I'm sorry to say that this wont work. Since you have two identical devices and have a factory recovery image, you could use that. You can't make changes to the OS, clone it, and then image another device with it. So to summarize, you will only be able to do what you're trying to do on an individual PC. This is directly from the reimaging rights brief: "you may use an OEM recovery image on devices shipped by that OEM provided that the device is appropriately licensed"Īdditionally I just made a post here the other day on this exact topic: Lumos! Windows 10 reimaging rights and deployment explained. You can only use the Dell provided image to image an identical device. Well you technically can't do this with the OEM image. I'd like to recover what is supposed to be a good image to a good machine, whether it be this machine or an identical one. This reset option really doesn't solve my particular situation anyway since I'm not trying to reset a troublesome machine. My recovery USB drive is plugged into the USB-C adapter. I have looked at the Reset this PC "Get Started" option for giggles and it isn't seeing my "recovery environment", which is a USB recovery drive. I did test the system image on the good machine to see if it would even pull its own image and it does not. I've built it exactly like I want it and I was hoping to make an image and use it on the other identical Dell 7275 sitting next to me. Is there an issue with Windows 10 and you just want to revert back to a clean OS or something?Ĭhris, nothing is wrong with the pc (other than these built-ins not working). How can it be that Windows can't find it's own file it created? What the heck?Ĭhris (Microsoft) wrote:Ok, I'm not sure I can troubleshoot that why your back up system image doesn't work. I'm browsing to the folder that the "Create a system image" wizard created. But when I go to Control Panel>Backup and Restore (Windows 7) and chose "Select another backup to restore files from", "Browse network location" and type in the Network share, I get "Windows was not able to find any backup sets on \\blahblahblahmynetworkshare". I am joined to the domain and plugged in via LAN cable, not wifi. I saved the system image to a shared drive on network location. I created a system image through Control Panel>Backup and Restore (Windows 7)>Create a system image. I got it like I wanted it and decided to create a system image. Otherwise, could someone tell me why my Windows 10 image cannot be recognized?ĭell Latitude 7275 (it's a 2-in-1) with any optical or USB drives connecting via a USB-C adapter. If there is a RESOLVED article on this somewhere, (and trust me, some of the "resolved" ones are not resolved when you follow them through to the end), someone please leave the link in this thread. I've looked for a solution to this for a day and a half.
