AUR can't find OS
Hi All,
I'm trying to migrate my son's PC to a newer (but not new!) motherboard, CPU, drives and Graphics card.
Old is a Gigabyte 890a with a 945 and new is a FX6100 on a 970A-UD3.
He lives about 30 miles away and I didn't want to leave him without a PC so I used ATI to back up his PC to an HDD and brought it home.
I couldn't Rescue Media Builder to create a USB Media that didn't randomly reboot the PC so I attached the new drives to another PC and used Backup to restore the drives and dropped them back into a case. I followed all the steps for this on the Acronis website.
I'm now trying (and failing) to get AUR to find the OS on the new drive. The drive can be seen but isn't recognised.
Any suggestions gratefully accepted!
Regards
Mark

Hi Steve,
OK success. I made sure the BIOS Modes matched and recreated the Rescue Media. This time I used the Linux Based Bootable media not Windows based. I also turned off most of the Intergrated Peripherals in BIOS that I didn't need like the sound system.
I then restored my backup directly via the new motherboard rather than attaching the drives to my main PC. I still couldn't get AUR to see the OS, but when I tried to boot without using it, Windows 10 just said updating drivers and booted sucessfully. I guess going from a Gigabyte 890 to a Gigabyte 970 board, the critical components were close enough to work.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Mark

Mark, thanks for the update / feedback. AUR tends to be needed less with Windows 10 systems as it is more capable of handling hardware changes & differences than earlier versions.
