Homeserver Forum

This is the first time I've tried to Bare Metal Restore a PC from Windows Server 2016 Essentials (I had no issues waaaay back with WHSv1 / V2 / 20012R2).

My wife's Surface Pro 7 was replaced so I built a USB Recovery Key that I used to do a full image restore onto the new Surface from 2016 Essentials. It seemed to work fine but when booting the new Surface into the restored Windows 10 image, I get a Blue Screen with "Error: 0xc000000e" and either "An unexpected error as occurred" or after trying some recovery tool / cmd line attempts "A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed"

Any hints?


Thanks

PS
- Also using the latest Light Out.

Gave up and did a clean install. After 10 years, I'll be moving off Windows Servers (WHS V1, V2, 2012, 2016 Essentials). They keep making it more expensive, dropping features (remember Drive Pooling) .... even 2019 Essentials no longer supports Client Backups. Oh well.
