Thanks for looking!

Drive1: 1.5T - shown as boot drive  - otherwise empty
Drive2: 3.0T - Windows 10 - Disk Director 12 installed - less than 200G occupied

WD passport USB drive with OS image. All drives are WD Black NTFS.

Ojective: Arrange so Drive1 is bootable win10 drive, and remove Drive2. There is no need to keep any user content.

New computer up and running - used a combination of Laplink and Acronis to save from old and restore on new. Acronis true image now resident on new system, uninstalled on old. Disk Director 12 still on Old rig, not transferred to new yet.

Solutions I see:
1. create windows 10 install media. Remove Drive2. Boot to media and install Windows10 on Drive1. Presumably I'd create media on old rig. But will the license carry over?

2. Clone OS partition from drive2 to drive 1. Need means to create bootable Rescue media. Unable to create on old rig.

    (Original intent was to CLONE OS on Drive2 to Drive1 and researched for answer to question "Leave or copy ND signature".)

    (However, I saw posts strongly urging to run from Bootable Rescue Media, but nothing to build from on old system. I built the media on New system, but it goes to loading then stops on old system, presumably because True Image isn't there.)

3. Restore OS to Drive 1. True image isn't on old system, Recovery media made on new computer doesn't run after selecting Acronis.

I'm preparing my old rig for a neighbor, it's still a capable gaming platform, though 5 years old.

 

Thanks for Reading!

Hello Dennis!

Welcome to Acronis Forums.

Our apologies for taking a month to reply.

1. Licensing

Acronis Disk Director does not require the license to be activated via internet and it persists through underlying hardware changes.

Acronis True Image does have a license activation mechanism and may prompt for the license re-activation. Be assured that you will not have to pay for the license movement. Just follow the steps that the program will offer and reassign the license to the new computer.

2. Bootable media

Bootable media could be created from any disk, old or new. It will be equally valid and good in both cases, and could be used to backup&restore either of the two systems, regardless of where it has been created.

3. Recovery media does not run after selecting Acronis

There must be a compatibility issue of our default Linux-based media with the particular hardware on the new computer. This could be circumvented this way: download and install Windows 10 ADK, choose WinPE and Deployment Tools when asked about the components to install, and then re-create Acronis bootable media, choosing WinPE format in the media creation wizard.

4. Should you use bootable media for recovery and cloning or do it while running Acronis in Windows?

Technically you can initiate system restoration and disk cloning from Acronis software running in Windows, but we recommend using bootable media for that in order to exclude possible conflicts with other software and Windows settings.

Final note: if you will pass your disk with Windows OS on it to the neighbor, then Windows and other programs (Disk Director excluded) may require license re-activation when he/she boots from it on a new computer.

Regards,

Slava
