I cloned HDD using Acronis True Image Home 2011 with Win7 that upgraded Vista on
2007 year production FujiSiemens Pa2548 notebook with NVidia 630 chipset and 150Gb SATA
to 2Tb SATA Seagate - complete clone of all partitions 1 partition with Windows, 1 regular partition and 1 hidden partition for Windows restore (never guessed that I have it). They were just made larger. Cloning was done on rebooting this notebook to 2Tb seagate in USB case.
Then I tried to boot this HDD on even older (2006 year assembled) desktop with NVidia 6150 chipset. This gives STOP BSOD (0x7B), SAME WITH BOOTING THIS 2TB SEAGATE FROM USB CASE ON NOTEBOOK. Safe mode fails same way. Windows 7 restore on desktop failed with message "A patch is preventing the system from starting". I had very close result before upgrading Vista on notebook to Windows 7 - same BSOD on booting and unable to recover from Vista DVD - recovery detected "configuration change" but was unable to fix it.

Looks like it's not a problem of Windows installation running on changed hardware - it's a problem of a copy made by Acronis.

What are the reasons and how should I do proper drive cloning? My goal is to transfer Windows from notebook to desktop.
- should I do it on other windows PC because something was not copied when I booted Windows/Acronis from source HDD?
- should I use newer Acronis version?
- was Acronis damaged during Windows upgrade? I had a message that Acronis backup driver is missing now after Windows upgrade...

BTW, both notebook and desktop BIOSes looks having no options about AHCI/IDE switches, they are too old and primitive. They just support SATA (II).

You cannot clone to a USB disk and expect Windows to boot from that disk.

Not only you cannot boot from a USB disk, but you cannot clone a disk A to disk B and then take disk B to another computer.

This operation requires restoring to *dissimilar* hardware, a feature only available after you have bought and installed the Acronis Plus Pack. This is typically a tricky operation with moderate chances of success, but often worth the risks short of having to reinstall all the OS and applications on the other computer and then restoring only the content and settings from computer A to computer B
