Hi,
So I cloned Windows 7 from an older Dell laptop using Macrium Reflect Free on an external WD external hard drive. Maybe not the best way to do it but did not want to crack open a machine, swap drives etc. I then updated the laptop to Windows 8. I am going to see if the laptop can take either W8.1 or Win 10. If not I want to revert back to Win 7 using the clone.
What I am not 100% clear on is the exact steps to take to restore the laptop to Windows 7 using the cloned image. Do I need to use the rescue disk?
Please advise how best to proceed.
Thanks in advance.
