Can anyone please tell me if a backup created on an externeal disc using one computer can be restored on a second?

I now have a new desk top PC with Windows 8. Can you please tell me if my back up from my old (Windows 7) pc could be restored to the new PC, complete with the old operating system? I have Acronis 10 and would be grateful if you could tell me exactly what I need to buy to do this.
Many thanks

John,
Restoring an image of computer A to computer B requires the Universal Restore feature, which is not for the faint of heart. If you are very comfortable with computer technology, drivers, etc, then it is a good option.
You'd have to buy 2013 with the Plus Pack.
Before you attempt to restore on the new computer, make sure you do a complete disk backup of the Win8 computer so that you can get a working computer back if the Universal Restore doesn't work for you!

Also realize that if you do a full restore you will have Windows 7 on your new Windows 8 computer.
