Well, if you want to find the specific location of your Windows 10system image, you need to clarify the following two questions:
- What tools did you use to create a system image for your Windows 10 PC?
- What storage media did you use to save the system image backup?
As for the first question, different backup tools will save the backups in different formats. For example, Windows built-inBackup and Restore(Windows 7)will create a system image and save it in the VHD format. If you want to find it, follow the path below:
For Windows 7 users:
- Disk Management - Actions - Attach VHD - click Browser to locate the image location.
For Windows 11/10/8/8.1 users:
- Type and open computer Management in the search box - Actions - Attach VHD - click Browser to locate the image location.
As for the storage media, if you saved the image backup on an external hard drive or network location(NAS), you are supposed to connect them to your computer first, then follow the method above to navigate to the image storage location.
If you don't want to look for the image file one by one among the multiple files library, you can turn to third-party backup software, likeEaseUS Todo Backup. It supports creating a system image and saving it in PBD format. When you need to restore the image backup, It only requires a few clicks to retrieve it within the application.
