Universal restore upgrade options
Hi, I need to perform an XP restore from tib to create bootable drive on new hardware. I would like to use universal restore on an W8.1 machine to do this.
I have licenced versions of TI 2014, TI 2010 + Plus Pack 2010
2010 will not install on the W8 machine
I cannot understand the upgrade options to achieve this, do I need to upgrade, I have the software!
thanks

thanks, yes dual boot
I am aware that I need 2014 Premium (Help tells me that Universal restore is only available to Premium users). Unfortunately it is not available as an upgrade option when I log onto the site and if it is available to purchase it is pretty invisible.
I have bought 2015 upgrade as it includes "Universal Restore". I have installed both, they come as separate installs. 2015 is a new interface to learn.
The 'Universal Restore' product clearly has different origins. It installs dumping you back in W8. Searching for 'Universal' I found 'Universal Boot media creator' which I assumed was what it says it is and not what I was looking for. But it is actually 'Universal Restore'.
When I ran it, it rather cryptically asks me to download Windows PE packages from Microsoft (1gb each) and seems to have no options for XP.
Am I missing something here?

You have to download the windows PE packages from MS to create the Restore Disk. MS changed the licensing and no longer allows the distribution of WIN PE by Acronis and other sw mfg. You may want to post in the 2015 forum https://forum.acronis.com/forums/acronis-true-image-home-discussions/ac… for more help.
