Win 7 system image - safe to restore a data partition?
I have a multi-boot system with 4 hard drives, 5 partitions on each hard drive. I did a system image backup of Win 7 plus a "data" partition. The "data" partition is actually Windows 10. If I do a system image restore, at boot up the partition letters are different than what is shown, the Win 7 and Win 10 partitions show as a different letter. If I continue with the restore, excluding the data partition, then during the restore, the display shows the proper Win 7 partition letter for the restore.
My concern is if I include the "data" (actually Win 10) partition on the restore, is it going to restore to the proper partition or is there a chance it will overwrite one of the other data partitions due to the partition lettering differences?
