You can start your laptop using the system image you created, which will replicate your PC's state. Make sure the image is up to date and compatible with your hardware before launching it.

You must launch System Restore on your Windows laptop and direct it to the backup created on your external drive. Ensure your drivers function correctly during this process. Your computer may use different drivers than your laptop, and Windows tends to react if they don’t align with the hardware. For consistent data across both devices, consider copying files directly or saving them in the cloud. A more efficient approach would be to configure RDP within Windows so you can connect from your laptop and perform tasks seamlessly.

Sure, I attempted the blue troubleshooting screen but it didn’t help. It seems you’re missing a Windows installation disc or system repair disc. There are tools that let you transfer your C drive contents from your PC’s external HDD to another laptop using software.

When creating a system image, you must start from a Windows USB installation, use the repair option instead of install, restore the image, and then pick the image from the external drive. Hopefully it works, though it's not always guaranteed.

I performed that action, everything proceeded smoothly until the system image was generated on a machine running EFI with BIOS. Once that step completes, it shouldn’t cause problems on my device since both are identical. This should resolve the concern—appreciate the guidance!
