Custom recovery

Thread needs solution

I plan on backing up the SSD on my current computer, formatting it and then moving it to a new computer. I then plan on migrating data  (operating system & drivers + the fewOEM programs ) from the Hard Drive on the new computer to the SSD. I then would like to "recover" (using Acronis) all my files, data, programs etc to the SSD on the new computer but I do not want to recover operating system and drivers as they will probably not be compatible. How can I recover just about everything except operating system and drivers?

Not possible.  Can't have it both ways. You're going to need to bite the bullet and either give up your new computer apps and OS, or keep it and import just your data onto the new computer.   You can restore the entire drive "as is" to the new PC using a disk/parition recovery.  Or, you can restore files/folders for data (pictures, videos. documents, etc).  

Acronis is a backup and recovery software, not a data migration tool.  Nor does it allow you to transfer just applications since they rely on other services, files and registry keys that are in the background all over the disk (can't just copy your c:\program files folder from one computer to the other - it doesnt' work like that.

In my experience, data migration tools (user-profile transfer) has been pretty terrible with other applications and you won't find this in most home backup products.  Microsoft used to provide a tool for doing this with windows 7, but even they stopped supporting it because it was more trouble than it was worth with cruddy results.

Your best option...

Backup the current hard drive in the new computer.  Backup the current hard drive of the new computer.  These are both for posterity and recovery - just in case.  

Restore the backup of the new computer to the SSD from the old computer since yoiu want to use that as the main drive now. Then restore DATA files/folders from the old drive backup that you took so it now lives on your profile on the new OS (and SSD).  Then, you'll still have to manuall install applications, customizations, etc on the "new OS" / SSD.
