    Windows 10 Updating existing system image backup

    I made a complete system image backup on an external hard disk about a month ago, now I want to update the image. Does creating system image again on that same external hard disk create everything from scratch or update the existing backup? If so, how can I update my existing backup?

    Windows 7 Windows 7 OEM

    Because my PC came with 7 OEM I cannot use the product key to use Win 7 in a VM. Could I write the contents of the disc to an ISO file and then use the product key or none at all or it just the same?
