Maybe a stupid question, but which files do I download?

Thread needs solution

I purchased the True Image 2016 but in my downloads area I also have Installation File, Bootable Media, Universal Restore, and WinPE Media Builder that I can download.  I have not read through the manual yet, but did watch the tutorial videos.  Do I need all of those files?  I assume so.

Just download the installation file and universal restore.  Install Acronis first and when complete/successful, then install Universal Restore after that.  Bootable media is a .iso of bootable media you can burn to a CD/DVD.  However, you can create a bootalbe USB flash drive or .iso from within Acronis once it's installed.  WinPE Media Builder is also built into the application by default.  You don't need to create WinPE media unless you find that the default linux bootable media can't find your hard drive or NIC, but in most cases it will.
