My PC originally came with XP (OEM). My upgrade procedure was to install an SSD and load 8.1 on that. When booting for the first time, I was surprised but pleased to see that I had the choice of 8.1 or XP. Subsequently, I opted to upgrade to Win 10 and that worked in the same way. However, when it came to setting up the Backup and Restore schedule, I noticed that the module is entitled Backup and Restore (Windows 7). This leaves me puzzled as I have never had Win 7 on this PC.
I have now disconnected the Win XP drive and corrected BCD so that I start directly in Win 10 but this backup anomaly bothers me.
Is this just a quirk in Win 10 or is there somthing I need to do about it?
The Windows 7 Backup and Restore is a legacy from the earlier OS, it is there to allow you to restore from earlier W7 backups if you have them.
Other info here.
As I said, I have never had Windows 7; just XP, 8.0 and 8.1.
What you had before makes no difference, Microsoft included it as standard and even a clean install will also add the Backup and Restore with Windows 7 mentioned.As I said, I have never had Windows 7; just XP, 8.0 and 8.1.
Thanks for the clarification. What a strange idea, to mention a product that has never been used previously.
Yes it is mine came with 8.1 but on control panel tells me backup to windows 7 if I want to
I am no way interested in going back to Windows 7,8 or 8.1
Windows 10 for me all the way

That certainly makes more sense.
