Upgrade to 2013 home edition issue

Thread needs solution

I have used acronis 2011 home edition and now i decide to upgrade it to 2013 edition by purchasing the 2013 upgrade version. Should I need to install the 2011 old version before installing the new 2013 version or just install the new version without using the old one. (since I want to install to a new hard disk)

If it were me, I would make a full disk backup first, then fully uninstall 2011 and run the Cleanup Utility before installing 2013.

Follow the Cleanup Utility instructions. Do not let the utility reboot your computer until you have completed the last 2 checks from the instructions.

Acronis True Image Cleanup Utility for 2011-2013: http://kb.acronis.com/content/34876

The upgrade version of TIH is the full version but the installer requires either a previous version of True Image to be installed or if not installed the serial number. When installing wihtout the previous version present, it will ask for the 2011 serial number and then for the 2013 serial number.

Your serial numbers are available for download in your Acronis account.
