ACRONIS 2017 MIGRATION FEATURE

Thread needs solution

I am using Acronis True Image 2017 and i need guidance and clarification regarding the MIGRATION feature. Let me explain:

I have a desktop PC with Windows 7 professional 64 bit and since the Microsoft support for Windows 7 will end in 2019 I have also a Windows 8.1 installer CD that I plan to use on the same PC (same HD size and everything) to remove the Win 7 OS and install the 8.1 OS and my question is :

How can I migrate or transfer all my apps and software from win 7 to the new Win 8.1 (they are all compatible apps and software) using the Migration feature (I checked my HD and it is a BASIC one (not dynamic) and I read online that it is possible to use migration on a basic HD.

I would need the complete steps to do the migration (or provide a link to it)

Heriberto, sorry but Acronis True Image cannot be used to transfer any applications and software between computers.

See KB 19296: Acronis products cannot be used to transfer applications to different system or upgrade OS

Thank you very much for the clarification I will have to reinstall every software or applications that I had on Windows 7 to the newly installed Windows 8.1

It is a no brainer just  a little time consuming but it is worth the while. THANKS !!
