Yes, you can use a system restore from an existing Win 10 on a new Windows 10 install.

There is a simple way for you to achieve the idea. For this to work properly, you must ensure that both computers have the same operating system version. Compatible hardware and software components like drivers have to be the same as well. Restoring a Windows 10 on a new one takes several steps that must be completed in the correct order.

First, you can create a full system image on a USB drive for your current Windows 10, which will include a precise duplicate of all the files and settings on your present computer. There's a Windows built-in tool called Backup and Restore (Windows 7) that can help you create it. Or, you can turn to professional software like EaseUS Todo Backup for help since it is able to compress system images to save space on the USB drive and is easy to use, which is suitable for all users.

Note: Personal files, such as photos, videos, and music, won't be included in the system image, so you might need to back up them separately. Also, make sure the new drive has enough space for system restoration.

Now, you can restore the operating system to another computer after creating and backing up the system image. Select the operating system you are using now as the backup source and set another external storage device as the backup target. This operation will create an exact copy of your Windows 10 that can be restored on a new one as long as it meets the requirements mentioned above. Click browser to recovery and follow the guide to restore your Windows 10 system to a new one.

In addition, EaseUS Todo Backup also has the ability to clone a system and transfer OS to another PC to meet your different needs.
