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

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.
