2014 True Image
Just got a win8.1 Dell laptop 1TB HDD to twin my 2013 ASUS win8.1 w/True Image 2014.
1) fear of old HDD blowing up, even though emplying disk backups to ext.HDD via USB routinely
2) biz core softwares mostly do NOT work on win11 (tested on new laptop) + so may to upgrade them + no way to replace them with bigger/better/faster (no inventors out there or dare to trust new MS OSs?)
Was thinking the safest way to have all this core w8.1 software to be immortal was to Acronis File Backup to USB-HDD from desktop to laptop.
Q:
Desktop has Acronis TI installed
ext.HDD will accept data
Now ...... does laptop need Acronis TI installed on it to receive this data?
Why the File way?
Afraid a disk backup would carry drivers, et al. that would render the laptop "dead"
I guess I could do a simple backup but that's way slower right?
