Importing the System State Backup
After you have restored the system state files, use this article from Microsoft to import the system state files into Windows Server Backup.
Microsoft states the following: "Microsoft does not support restoring a system state backup from one computer to a second computer of a different make, model, or hardware configuration. Microsoft will only provide commercially reasonable efforts to support this process. Even if the source and destination computers appear to be identical makes and models, there may be driver, hardware, or firmware differences between the source and destination computers."
