Newbie to Acronis products

Thread needs solution

Hi
I want to buy an Acronis Product that will allow me to change an existing HDD (with windows on it) with a bigger HDD.
I need to preserve all that exists on my old one (including windows) so I can boot from the new HDD.
In fact I think that I need to clone the old HDD to the new one and then detach the old one so I can boot from the new one.
Also the new one is bigger than the old one.
Which product should I buy and where I can find the documentation about how to do that.
Thank you

John

P.S.
If I posted to a wrong forum please an admin move it to the right one.
Thank's again

Hi John

Acronis will do this out of the box. Are you using a Windows "Home" version of the OS ?

If so then you can just the "Workstation" cheaper version of Acronis. You can take a full Image of your hard drive(s) and restore it to a new Hard Drive or if you have the ability to have the new drive inside your PC and the OS running with Acronis installed you can Clone the the OS drive to the new drive.

Hope that helps.
