Recovery after a fire

Thread needs solution

After a fire damaged my PC and external backup beyond repair, I have found the internal hard disk appears to be ok as I can view all the files when I fit it in another computer.

I have my Acronis 2015 recovery cd and universal restore on a thumbdrive. As i don't have a backup only the hard disk can i make it boot on the computer I am viewing it on, there is nothing on this computer that I wish to keep. I am not sure if I can get all the drivers required can Universal Restore find them automatically.

Any help in easy steps for a noobie would be appreciated thank you.

As a precaution, I would go ahead and connect the drive from the fire damaged computer to the working computer then copy over anything you need from it to the good computer, then connect the fired drive in place of the boot drive in the good computer. It will most likely boot just fine, though you might have to reinstall some drivers needed on the good computer.
