Restoring disk image to new machine
I own True Image 2018. I have a Dell XPS 13 9360 laptop with Win 10 Pro (fully up to date), 512GB SSD and 16MB of memory. The laptop recently failed spectacularly. Fortunately, have a recent full-disk image and recent full backups of each of the unit's two partitions (C:, E:, with C: bootable), created with True Image.
I'm acquiring another XPS 13. Not precisely the same hardware specs, but it does have identical specs for SSD and memory and will come with Win 10 Pro installed. I want to use Universal Restore to completely restore the original laptop's image to this new machine.
I think I understand how to do this, based on Knowledge Base articles. But I have one question: will I run into trouble with Win 10? If the restore process substitutes the old Windows installation for the new one, will Windows 'think' it's still installed on the old machine -- and, for example, provide the old machine's service tag number whenever I subsequently use Dell Support Assist to update the new machine? And will Windows Update, when invoked, think it's updating the old copy of Windows 10 rather than the new one?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
