Trouble restoring windows uisng System Image backup

Jun 13, 2016 11:24AM PDT

I've got original windows 10 on my laptop (Lenovo z51 70), I've dual booted it with ubuntu. Recently I've got an issue with my graphics driver, So I updated it through AMD's website. To be more precise I downloaded "AMD Radeon Software Crimson". Once I've installed it, I started getting this error message

SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (AODDriver.sys)

The Lenovo should have come with a possibility to go back to factory conditions, the original Windows 10. Check the user manual on how to do that.

If you feel you need a non-Lenovo disk, download that from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/
No need at all for a pirated version of Windows.
