Acronis 2019 Universal Recovery Booting Windows 7 OS fails after scrambled video screen

Moving OS from older Dell 5 years to New Lenovo. Universal restore uses Chipset, USB, Ethernet, Network drivers extracted to USB from Lenovo website. Universal restore finds everything no log errors except for VEN_8086&DEV_A282&SUBSYS_31317AA not found.

As opposed to other drivers (Chipset, USB, Ethernet) Intel's Video driver not extractable from installation executable. It is I believe for the HD 530. Could this cause a boot failure? (boots fine then screen with scrambled video, then reboots). Other possibility is the old drive was MBR vs UEFI but when Bios set to legacy boot I see the Win7 logo for 5 seconds then it reboots.

If video driver a possibility where can I find the missing inf/driver?

Thanks

 An incorrect video driver can cause a boot failure.

I am providing a link to the latest Intel HD530 graphics drivers for Win 7, both 32 and 64 bit.  Note that there are both .exe files and .zip files.  The easiest way to extract the drive files is to download the appropriate .zip file.  The .exe files are meant to run inside a booted Windows environment as an installable driver update.

I suggest copying all files extracted from the .zip file for the graphics adapter to your drivers folder and let UR install whatever it needs as usually a graphics adapter will need more than just the .inf file(s).

Must not be very active forum as the issue of migrating from Windows 7 to Windows 10 must be faced by lots of users. I could not successfully migrate windows 7 to the new machine and I am fairly certain it was because the Lenovo has an M.2 SSD slot (which I was not using but which Windows 7 does not support). In addition,  Acronis UR to the new Lenovo always wanted to create a GPT drive. Used an intermediate machine where Acronis would allow creation of MBR. I successfully did the restore to new hardware then upgraded to Windows 10.

Using Acronis UR I then Migrated the new Windows 10 to the new machine using a GPT. Windows 10 is digitally linked to the bios so it automatically activated. All worked well except for the audio HD sound which had a yellow exclamation in Device Manager. It took 4 hours to solve. In the end it only took 3 clicks to solve but took me hours to figure out.

Your problem was not the fact that your Lenovo has a M.2 slot, rather, the fact that the Lenovo was set to UEFI/GPT boot mode probably caused your issues.  Your first post did not give any evidence of this or I would have answered in this manner.

Glad you got it sorted but sorry to hear that it took a long time to do so.
