Moving to NEW xp home installation
Good day to all.
Newbie - please be gentle
Existing machine.
xp home sp3
Acronis True Image 9.0 Home (English)
2 each 160G Hard drives
Disk 1 = "C" Drive (system drive)
Disk 2 = 160G - 2 equal partitions
"D" partition 79G
"E" Partition 79G
I have .tib backup of "C" drive on USB external made with Acronis TI 9.0
I have .tib backup of "D" drive on USB external made with Acronis TI 9.0
I have .tib backup of "E" drive on USB external made with Acronis TI 9.0
NEW machine is
XP Home SP3
Disk 1 = 200G (system)
Disk 2 = 500G (2 equal partitions)
"D" Partition 250G
"E" Partition 250G
I would like to Move, migrate or whatever you call it from the OLD machine to the New machine and not have to re-install ALL existing programs - i.e. have a complete XP Home SP3 system with all the programs that I have on the OLD system.
From what I can tell,
1. I would have to have Acronis TI 2013 and the Plus pack installed on the NEW machine.
2. Would I have to install 2013 and plus pack on the old machine and THEN make backups of "C" "D" "E" drives ( would 2013 READ existing .tib file from OLD acronis TI 9.0)
3. If I purchase the Acronis Family pack ( three machines) would I have to purchase THREE of the Plus packs?
As you can see i pretty confused and would appreciate any assistance or recommendation that you can provide me.
Thanks in advance

Colin,
Thank you for your assistance.
Main Difference in new machine is the HD size, Graphics card, Motherboard Memory.
With regards to purchase of Acronis TI 2013- Yes the home page is confusing.
The link you posted seems (to me anyway) to offer "True Image 2013 + Plus Pack" for USD 79.98" i.e.
One TI 2013 License and One Plus Pack License ?
Search shows "True Image 2013 Family Pack (3-Users)"
Amazon = USD 48.00
Staples = USD 79.99
NewEgg = USD 69.99
Acronis
http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/#add-migration
site shows "add migration" = $29.99 / License
Very confusing indeed.
Thank you again for your assistance

That is most strange, I could have sworn when I checked that link yesterday, that it showed Family Pack when I pressed the 'buy' button.

If the old system has an OEM licensed windows XP, you need to preserve license files from the new system, or else it will detect change of motherboard and may refuse to activate.

OK, it looks as though Acronis have changed their offer slightly, as when 2013 came out there was a family version of the Plus Pack, so it looks as though you purchase TIH 2013 Family Pack and then purchase the Plus Pack as a separate purchase.
Maybe a support chat with presales might clear things up.
