For a few years I created a backup of one partition of my old HDD. I also created a backup of MBR of the HDD. The partition list of the HDD was as following:
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdb1 63 80324 80262 39,2M 6 FAT16
/dev/sdb2 81920 25767935 25686016 12,3G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sdb3 * 25767936 756236685 730468750 348,3G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
The backup partition was the sdb3. It contains a windows 10 OS. Now I want restore this partition to a new SSD storage and setup a dual boot from existing Ubuntu 18.04. How I should perform?

Meanwhile I fixed the problem restoring partition backup AND the MBR backup to the same HDD. What I learned is, Windows is bitchy regarding restoring a backup to another storage. This I noticed trying boot windows that ends up with error messages "error code: 0xc0000225 ... the boot configuration data for PC is missing or contain error..." and a prompt to use a recovery disk to. – Dimitri – 2019-04-30T08:32:41.907
to avoid this next time include
MergeIDE.reg
before backup (can be done afterward with WinPE too) – alecxs – 2019-04-30T09:09:44.287
