Whatever the setting is on the old system, that's how it should be set on the new one. Most likely, it will be AHCI to start with. If the old system was installed in SATA - RAID, the new system should be set the same. After restoring the image, you'll need to then run Universal Restore on the system to genarlize the drivers so your system doesn't BSOD on boot for choking on an unsupported driver.Ĥ) You may also need to check the SATA mode in the bios. You would need to take a full disk image of the original OS drive, then restore that image to the new system image (please don't do that until you've imaged your new machine first though - just in case). That said, if the old one was Legacy, the new system may have an option for legacy/CSM/MBR mode, you could enable it, but you'd be going backwards with technology.ģ) A clone will not actually work in this case. Good news is both systems have Win 10 and Windows 10 license is hardware based, so in your case that would work since it's laready has a registrered version of Win 10 on the new hardware.Ģ) Was your old system OS installed as Legacy/MBR or UEFI/GPT? Most new systems will have UEFI/GPT installation as that is the more modern version and GPT gives you better partition support and bootability of disks greater than 2TB. Louis - technically it is possbile, but I would not recommend it.ġ) OEM licenses may not transfer from system to system. Sorry if that is more information than you were looking for, but better to be comprehensive that not. Even so, moving Windows to new hardware poses additional issues with regard to needing additional hardware device drives for all the new components present in the new system that were unknown to the old system - this in turn requires the use of Acronis Universal Restore to prepare the moved copy of Windows to work on the new hardware. Windows 10 - this is primarily because of how Windows is licensed to specific computer hardware unless you have a full retail boxed version of Windows. If you want to transfer more than just data files (documents etc) to your new computer, then that is a whole different story - Acronis True Image cannot be used to transfer programs or applications between computers, and it is not recommended to move your old version of Windows to your new computer unless both are running the same version of Windows, i.e.
One of those choices will allow you to transfer your license from your old computer to the new one. If you only have a single PC license to your Acronis software then you will get a warning about too many activations when you install it on your new computer and will be offered several choices for how to resolve this. Now for some extra statements about doing this. Hello Douglas, If you only intend to restore data files such as documents, photos etc, then the answer is definitely yes, you can install Acronis and do this.
