Safe to upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista?

Thread needs solution

Hello,

Will my copy of Acronis® True Image Home® version 10.0 (build 4,942) work once I move to Windows 7? I understand that I will need to reinstall the app - but will it work as well as before - or am I safer sticking to Vista?

Thanks in advance,
Anthony

If you mean version ATI10 and not ATI2010, then I do not think it is designed to work with W7. There appears to be an issue with ATI2011 on W7 64 if you are connected to a network and the network devices are not turned on -- apparently ATI freezes looking for the devices (see
http://forum.acronis.com/forum/15776)

Otherwise, I have heard reports of the latest build working okay on most machines. Note that the user interface and how you set up tasks is very diff in ATI2011 than it was in ATI10. Otoh, it's only the later versions that are capable of dealing directly and correctly with start sector issue for vista and W7 when you do a full disk restore.

If you're going to W7, then I'd upgrade to a later version, at least ATI2010. If you do an inplace upgrade from Vista to W7 instead of a fresh install of W7, then I'd uninstall ATI1-0 first.
