Windows 10 Pro and Acronis 2013
Will shortly be installing the Win 10 'upgrade' to my Win 7 Pro 64 bit PC. Question is via the 2013 boot/rescue disk only of 2013...(not planning on installing Acronis to the new Win 10 system) will this work with an upgraded Windows 10 image creation ?
Clone and re-imaging to be done only with Acronis 2013 rescue/boot cd....at least until Acronis has released a bug free working Windows 10 version of Acronis 2015 ?
Thanks...TiminAZ

Could it be true, that True Image 2013 works without any problems under Windows 10?
Someone told me that and I would ask here.

I have someone who tells me 2013 works on Windows 10 Pro, but no first hand knowledge. Of course Acronis wants to sell updates and won't recommend or support it, well I would bet they won't.
I don't mind the cost of upgrading Acronis, I just hate having to learn different navigating around screens and new bugs.
Just leave well enough alone, simple image, I might just use Windows image which works okay and I know how to make that image a VHD if I only want one file, well I can in Windows 7.
Still holding off on going to Windows 10.

True Image 2013 seems to work on Win10 Pro. I made an image to an external drive and it looks like everything is there. I have not tried to restore the image. Try n Decide however doesn't work.

ATIH 2013 may work with Windows 10 but it is not supported by Acronis when used in that OS environment.
See KB document: 56196: Acronis Products: Windows 10 Support which states:
Older versions of Acronis products
Support of Windows 10 will not be implemented into older versions of Acronis products (e.g. Acronis True Image 2014 or older, Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 or older, Acronis Snap Deploy 4 or older), as Acronis development team works on the current versions only. Stable functioning of older products on Windows 10 is not guaranteed.

For those who are using 2013 with Windows 10... is it actually installed and imaging from within Windows and you've successfully restored as well? Hopefully, if using it, your backup and restores will work, but for the cost of an upgrade (as low as $20 at certain times of the year), having working and supported within Windows seems like a small price to pay for backup peace of mind.
I would imagine the offline media will work regardless of the OS installed for imaging and restore outside of Windows. As to trusting Acronis backups from Windows 10 on an unsupported OS, it may work, but you're playing with fire if your data means anything to you. At least test by making an offline backup first and restoring it to another disk offline as well. Then replace disks and make sure it boots as expected. If that works, then there's not too much risk moving forward to test running backups within Windows.
