Hello Ken,

Welcome to the forum and thank you for your post. I will definitely help you with your question.

It will depend on how dissimilar your hardware is. If it is a completely different hard drive controller from a totally different manufacturer then yes, it will be better if you use Acronis Universal Restore.

Acronis Universal Restore cannot be used with cloning and even though cloning is a little bit faster, I would recommend creating a backup and then restoring it to your new hard drive.

If your hardware setup requires using Acronis Universal Restore, I can suggest some additional resources. Please check our main KB article about Acronis Universal Restore and Yana's post with some more details.

If you decide to go with cloning, there is an ABR10 cloning guide available here. If your new hard drive is larger, you may also consider this guide for resizing partitions during restore.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Thank you.
