Need to migrate to a new laptop, OS is the same, How can I migrate all my installed Applications?
I currently have Acronis True Image 11 Home. I need to migrate from a Dell Latitude D630 to an E5410. The OS levels are the same XP Pro V2002 SP3. I would like to be able to migrate over all my installed applications without having to re-install them. My concern is if I clone my old drive and restore it onto the new system the drivers will all be wrong and the system may not work. Is there a way to migrate the installed programs and the registry without changing the drivers? Do I need to upgrade to newer version of the software or do i need a different product entirely to do this?
Thanks for your help.
Dave

Hello all,
Thank you for posting and helping.
David, I will do my best to help you.
I would also recommend to check the following KB article, it explains why applications cannot be restored from a backup.
As a workaround, you can recover data from your backup. Please check this article for more information.
If you have additional questions, please let me know.
Thank you.
