Ok thanks, do I need to create bootable media to restore a backup ?( I assumed I did as I didn't think you could flash a mounted drive ) the system seems to be able to restore it without one ( although I did back out at the last minute so maybe it reboots into a shell ) Sorry to pester you

You can't restore a system image over a boot drive - the os has nowhere to go, poor thing - but you can restore files from an AOMEI image, or from it's other backup / restore system (I haven't played with that too much, because I was rolling my own backup-to-zip system in my copious spare time but maybe it'll do what I wanted instead).
Even the MS image needs a bootable CD / USB to restore.
I just sacrificed by USB stick following the AMOEI instructions and it wrote it fine - I'll try booting from it later when my PC finishes a couple of long tasks it is running.

So you created a Windows Bootable Media on your usb stick from the application ?

UltraISO, yes. Not from within AOMEI itself (I don't want to install the kits it needs on my PC at the moment).

Would you happen to know what caused this to occur?
You are really making me afraid of Windows 10.

Not sure - I think it has to do with it insisting I log in via my MS account, rather than the "Griff" account I used on Win7 (with a blank password - it no longer works in Win10, it seems to have set a password and won;t tell me what it is, so I have to use the MS account I was signed in to via VS instead).
It's fixable, but it's just a PITA. I suspect it's going to really annoy non-technical users (i.e. most of 'em!)
I dunno - are you using Win7 or Win 8.x at the moment? I suspect that Win8 users will work because they needed a linked MS account to set up in the first place.
But I don't think Win10 has the "Wow" factor MS needed.

Thanks very much for the reply. Sorry about your current troubles.
Yes, I am on Windows 8.1. My son upgraded recently from Win 7 to 10 and he didn't report a problem so I was curious about this. He may have already had an MS account.

It didn't insist. The option to sign in using a local account (ie. the one you had before) was there ... I know ... that's the way I did it ... if you went through the custom install and opted out of the information exchange thingies and aren't using Cortana.

Look at my above post, it is seemingly related to OneDrive.

I never upgrade.
I always run fresh installs. No matter whether it's the OS, Office or VS.
Tends to work much better that way.

That's my tactic with women. Works pretty good.

And when I change them, it changes them back.
So I take full control of my HDD.
No I don't, it can't enumerate all the folders.
Are you kidding?? Seriously?
Why would anyone want to "upgrade" to this steaming pile if exrecement??
I really don't see the fascination to rush to install Win10.
You know, you brought this on yourself. You HAD to know this sort of thing would happen..
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

I finally updated my home machine to Windows 10. Everything went off without a hitch, even my applications and settings are intact.

That's what I thought to start with as well...
I'm still trying to get write access to my own files that persists past a re-boot.
