Install ATIH 2012 in old computer to back up for new computer

Thread needs solution

Just purchased ATIH 2012. Can I install it in an old computer so that I can backup the old C Drive - and then reinstall it permanently in my new computer - or is there a better way to transfer the files from old C Drive to new C Drive?

How do I handle the Serial # in either case?

You don't even need to install it in the old PC. If you need it just for this one use to image the old drive, then it's simpler to boot from the Recovery Media (CD or USB) to make the backup.

But, as far as backup of old drive and restore onto new drive: is the new computer the same OS as the old one? If not, then you wouldn't want to do a full disk image. You'd want to just backup files, likely all your user files (My Documents, Internet browser bookmarks/favorites, Desktop, etc.)
