Acronis True Image 2014 - restoring image to a larger drive
I have read the solution for restoring an image to a larger drive on
https://kb.acronis.com/content/2770
and I would like to know if Acronis True Image 2014 can be configured to automatically detect when the drive to which you are restoring an image is larger than the source drive so that it restores the image using all unformatted space. I am asking this because I once restored an image on a larger drive to see that the drive was partitioned with much unformatted space.
If not, does Acronis True Image 2015 or 2016 have such feature?
Thank you for your time!

We do not know the Windows version in use nor whether the disk is partitioned as MBR or GPT. These could have a bearing.
Version 2014 is not compatible with Windows 10.

First, thank you both for your input, FtrPilot and GH-Storage. For Vista or 7 or 8 and the disk partitioned as MBR what kind of bearing would it have, GH-Storage?

The type MBR is the easier to restore or recover. The new GPT is much more difficult and more difficult for the average user.
Item 2 within this link could help.
