Description
Restore to dissimilar hardware procedure:
- Create an Acronis bootable media and boot the target computer (connect the media to your computer and restart the computer).
- Perform recovery of the backed up system.
- Download Acronis Universal Boot media builder and create a bootable media containing Acronis Universal Boot - a free tool available for Acronis customers (see details below), which allows you to make the restored system bootable on dissimilar hardware.
- Prepare necessary drivers (see details below), boot the target computer and use Universal Boot (see details below) to make the restored system bootable on the new hardware.
- Now you can start the computer and work with your system restored to the new hardware.

In this step you will create a bootable media to boot your machine after recovery and apply Universal Boot. You do not have to add the drivers now, you should do this later when you start the machine with this media and apply Acronis Universal Boot.
- Start the installed Acronis Universal Boot tool from Windows Start menu;
- Select the way the disks and volume will be represented:
- Optionally, specify Linux kernel parameters. See Linux Kernel Parameters.
- Select Acronis Universal Boot:

You do not have to add the drivers now. You can do this later when you apply Acronis Universal Boot to a machine.

Acronis Universal Boot is a tool that allows changing Windows Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL.dll) and install mass storage boot device drivers into the system.
It installs boot device drivers (e.g. hard drive or RAID controller drivers) into the system during the recovery process, so that the operating system can boot from this boot device. If there are proper NIC drivers present in the folder with the drivers, Acronis Universal Boot will copy them into the restored system and will schedule their installation on Windows boot-up.
(!) All the other drivers (e.g. video and sound card drivers, plug and play drivers) are not installed by Acronis Universal Boot, as they can be installed in Windows after the successful migration.
Prepare drivers
Before applying Universal Boot to a Windows operating system, make sure that you have the drivers for the new HDD controller and the chipset. These drivers are critical to start the operating system. Use the CD or DVD supplied by the hardware vendor or download the drivers from the vendor’s Web site. The driver files should have the *.inf, *.sys or *.oem extensions. If you download the drivers in the *.exe, *.cab or *.zip format, extract them using a third-party application (e.g. free 7-zip tool or any other).
Note for Windows XP users: as Microsoft has stopped Windows XP support on April 8, 2014, more and more hardware manufacturers discontinue testing their harware for compatibility with Windows XP, thus you may experience issues when/after restoring a Windows XP system to new hardware. Please consult your hardware manufacturer to make sure the new hardware is compatible with Windows XP.
What if you do not have drivers
Windows 7 includes more drivers than the older Windows operating systems. There is a great chance that Universal Boot finds all necessary drivers in the Windows 7 driver folder. So, you may not necessarily have to specify the external path to the drivers. Nevertheless, performing Universal Boot is critical so the system uses the correct drivers.

The Windows default driver storage folder is determined in the registry value DevicePath, which can be found in the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersion.
This storage folder is usually WINDOWS/inf.
Use Acronis Universal Boot
- Boot the machine from the Acronis Bootable Media;
- Select the Acronis Universal Boot option:
