Acronis True Image WD Edition Software?

Thread needs solution

Let me say, first, that I am a neophyte when it comes to personal computers.

I have just bought a Western Digital My Book External Hard Drive. Just before the purchase I purchased Acronis True Image 2014 from Acronis.

In looking over Western Digital's web site I noticed that they have "Acronis True Image WD Edition Software."

Can anyone say if I should just stick with the Acronis software I've already bought or should I uninstall it and use the WD edition?

Would it make any difference?

All responses will be appreciated.

Thank you.

WD edition is a lesser-featured tool based on an older version of ATI. ATI 2014 is much more current.

Acronis WD Advanced Format & 2014

Hi - Wonder if you can say whether or not, definitively, Acronis TrueImage 2014 supports Western Digital Advanced Format.

I already have 2014 installed and need to clone my existing Tosh Hard Drive onto a WD - I don't want to install Acronis WD just to ensure that Advanced Formatting is covered as I already have my Acronis 2014 backup routines all set up and running.

Any help would be appreciated - I can't seem to find any precise information so far and have been looking for several days

many thanks
