restore a windows backup from laptop to desktop

Solution
It is theoretically possible, but there are difficulties in getting the drivers to work correctly. The drivers that you have installed for the laptop will probably not work on the desktop and may crash the system. You are better off doing a clean install on the desktop and copying other files (and installing software) on the desktop.
