Once I had those, I tried again with the three drive image tools, this time using the newly obtained drivers with those tools’ “universal restore” or “dissimilar hardware” options.

So then I explored the question of how to obtain the drivers that were apparently needed for a successful restoration. The sections below describe how I first tried to use three drive image tools to restore a backup image of Windows 7 on the source machine (i.e., the ThinkPad) to the target machine (i.e., the Acer), using a desktop computer to create bootable USB drives and perform other related tasks. The reason, I think, is that - especially in the case of Acronis - my searches led to multiple webpages, some of which seemed to conflict with each other and with what I was seeing onscreen, as I ran the relevant tools. In this case, I have essentially documented how I overlooked instructions that would have simplified things. I have found that this sort of account leads me through many of the error messages and other problems that people seem to encounter, when attempting the desired process. That worked, and I was able to clean up a few things that weren’t quite right on that ThinkPad restoration.Īs in many of my posts, this one provides a blow-by-blow account of my struggles to work through the desired process. Fortunately, I still had the ThinkPad, so I took the intermediate step of restoring the image to that. I was basically unsuccessful in trying to restore that image directly to the target machine, an Acer Aspire 5 A515-51-563W laptop. The original drive image was an image of a Win7 installation on an old Lenovo ThinkPad E430 laptop. I would try one way of restoring that would grind away for a half-hour or more while I turned to other things and then eventually I would come back to this and try again. I say these are “some” of the things I learned, because I screwed around with this, on and off, for days. This post conveys some of the things I learned while trying to do that. I wanted to see if I could restore that image to a different computer. I had an old Windows 7 圆4 drive image, made via Acronis True Image Home 2011.
