How do I load an image w/Acronis True Image 11?

Thread needs solution

I have 2 dell e6530 laptops. 1 I just finished setting up complete with updates and all required applications, and I created a full/complete backup ready for re-installation to the 2nd laptop. How do I accomplish this without installing the OS onto the 2nd laptop?

First step is to advise which version of True Image. Is it 11 or 2011? They differ.

Which version of Windows? If 8.1, only 2014 will work.
If GPT disks, if using Dell disk setup as received and if the 100 MB fat32 system partition is first, Acrrois will not put this first.
The Win Recovery CD may be needed for a repair to make it boot.

There is a good chance the hdwe is not truly identical so you will need the plus pack version (premium version in 2014) for restore to dis-similar hdwe.

Technically, you need Acronis license for each unit.
My signature link 3 , item #2 shows the restore steps needed but applicable only if disks are MBR.
