I have an old Windows 10 laptop, that I sometimes play games on. A while back, a Windows 10 update stopped some games from working, but I had a previous backup image of the laptop's C: drive, so I restored it back onto the laptop's C: drive, and since then I've not let Windows 10 update on the laptop, so the games still work. I've dug out another laptop (also Windows 10), and I want to put the same games on it, but some don't work as the Windows 10 installation has been more recently updated (thanks Microsoft).

So is it possible for me to find out exactly when the first laptop's last chronological update was, and so install Windows 10 onto the second laptop but with no updates later than that date? Or what about the Windows migration mode that I've heard about, whereby if you take a C: drive from one PC (or laptop) and put the drive into a different machine (with different hardware) then Windows detects it's on new hardware and updates to the drivers that are needed for the new hardware and then runs fine? Can I basically put the C: hard drive image made from the first laptop onto the C: hard drive in the laptop and all will work properly?

Thanks for any answers.
