I decided today to upgrade it back to Windows 10. So I used a USB
hard drive to restore the Macrium image file from several years ago.
Much to my disappointment, for unknown reasons, though I had plenty of
HD space, the Macrium program said (something like): 'no more space on
target' and exited with an error.

ZAP!

As far as I got -- Poor Testing procedures. I'm heavily into binary
streaming and keep two, sometimes three generations of backup images;-
FOUR when testing software of building, images which -always- need be
first Verified before shuffling the last-out first-in order of
successive backups.

Nothing apparently can be that perfect, though, in finishing the rest
of your post.

My maximum, though it's nuts to say it, is that (it's as easy simply
then to assume) no two computers necessarily are exactly, precisely
and completely the same. In your case, given the time factor, that
combination coinciding with what does not work together, in order for
W10 not to boot, is more than acceptable to have forgotten. You then
lose advantage over a closer familiarity, in time, so as to say --
'a-ha!, I did not do either this, if not that, when the last W10 was
in fact working' -- thus improving advantage to make subsequent
corrections relevant. Hopefully.

Another maximum is slow and patient trial and error combinations when
testing hard and software;- However imperfect the premise of
understanding, there still remains only a set number of OPCODES
permissible to a function within a programming universe. It's also the
drudgery of what most people can't handle, puts them off about
computers. Of course, end results can be quite impressive, once
demonstrated, which in turn tends to put people back on. So long as
it lasts, within limits and apart from their assumed right to
interfere mistakenly with settings, for some, at times from a false
and presumptive nature, they'll then logically try and explain as
nothing short of perfectly natural. But, as you say you've built, or,
especially then to sell to others to make relatively easy repairs a
matter of later course, then it's something you already know, selling
what you've personally worked with and are familiar, and well.
