Installing a disk image on a new laptop?

Thread needs solution

I have True Image 11 and I have a Windows 7 laptop.

Here's what I want to know:

If I do a disk image with TI and then my laptop is stolen or broken, can I install the disk image on a new laptop and be back up and running in minimal time?

Thanks

Rich

The Acronis Plus Pack Addin is the suggested solution for different hardware. Just be aware that this will only work when using the same OS on the old and new hardware.

Do you mean for example; old laptop is Windows 7 64 bit, so new laptop must be Windows 7 64 bit to accept the disk image?

Yes, if you want the new machine to retain its OS then you don't want to use this process to migrate. You would need to restore your files from the backup and re-install applications.
