Well, this is going to be slightly sad. I decided to try to upgrade my main system the other day ( meaning, last week) and before doing so I made a System Image via the Disk Image utility within the Windows 7-based backup utility in Windows 10. In multiple attempts to recover that image to a new 1TB SSD, I have met with 0% success. I have tried multiple utilities such as Macrium Reflect, AOMEI, EaseUS to name the most recent and have had no luck with any of them. Of course, I would not be writing here if I had not had success with the regular Windows Disk Image Recovery Utility, so I'm reaching out to the community for some assistance in looking for suggestions for other programs that might be worth looking into.

 

Thanks!

After attempts with the Windows 10 Disk Image Restore process. I get the ubiquitous and equally  cryptic:

 

"Error details: The parameter is incorrect (Error 0x80070057)"

 

message, which research shows is caused by a number of reasons, all equally unknown.

 

All of the aforementioned programs can not locate the previously saved Disk Images.

 

I have 2 different image files saved on two different & attached hard drives, each saved within 2 hours of each other.

I personally don't know what's causing this error. You've probably seen this thread already, still:

Have you tried any of these workarounds?

Hello,


Have you restored the system to the original Windows 7 and reloaded your disk image?  You might want to try that and then look at doing a backup using a different means, verifying the backup works, and then performing a clean install of Windows 10.

      yeah i did some research and it seems they removed (or didn't carry over) the ability to change desktop icon fonts.....hopefully they bring it back for you soon...and yeah it also seems the ability to change the font has also been removed unless you adjust through registry or win aero.    if you haven't already, maybe trying to "adjust cleartype text" may help you. i tried running through it and noticed there were some bold font styles.   welcome (or bye haha) to windows 2025 btw!

      That'll be it for my 2018 Mac mini then. There is, of course, OpenCore Legacy Patcher . . .

      Support cost cutting and nudging people to upgrade for profit. Pure and simple. Nothing as noble as hardware actually becoming "obsolete" about most of the hardware requirements from Apple, Microsoft, or Android companies either. iMac 2017 with AMD running legacy Core still have native GPU support in macOS 15 and run perfectly fine. Doesn't even need any fancy patching outside of the minimum patching needed to get macOS 15 on the system to bypass Apple system requirements aking to running windows 11 on a PC that doesn't match the arbitrary CPU generation requirements that make you bypass them too. You can usually tell if hardware is truly in the realm of "obsolete" if you are having a hard time finding a major Linux distro that'll install on it.

      >Mozilla's Firefox has been left behind over time in terms of market share, as it has not been able to keep up with Chromium-based browsers in the performance department. I have no problems with Firefox's performance whatsoever. I suspect the reason Firefox is lagging in market share is that average consumers haven't heard of it and are fine with what was installed on their systems.
