Just be careful about restoring an image that includes the OS (as well as installed applications) to another computer.no matter what backup/imaging program you use. However, I do know Macrium Reflect can restore to another computer I just now noticed my error in my earlier post, #2! It should read: however, I do know Macrium Reflect can restore to another company." This is the way I always tend to use True Image. If you use the bootable media (either created if you bought True Image online or the optical disc it came on if you bought a physical copy), boot into Acronis True Image 2017, and then either image or clone the drive that way it should not matter what the OS on the drive is. Moved from XP to Backup/Imaging - Hamluis.

My concern is that what the supervisor is thinking is that they will be able to restore this image to a new computer if the old one dies.Ĭan anyone tell me if I will be able to move the image if I use the Seagate software or if Acronis 2017 will actually work with Windows XP SP3?Įdited by hamluis, 21 April 2017 - 06:46 PM. I know that Seagate offers a limited edition of Acronis to generate an image, but it is my understanding that it will only restore the information to the exact same computer. I did call Acronis Support and they "said" it would work. The list only goes back as far as Windows 7.


My concern is that Acronis 2017 does not include Windows XP SP3 in their system requirements list. The supervisor would like me to make a back up image of this machine. There have been a few occasions of this machine doing a BSOD. I have a workstation that is operating an inspection camera on a manufacturing floor.
