Thomas, welcome to these user forums.

All the items you mention that you want to move to a fresh install of Windows 7 can be done in several different ways.

If you have ATIH 2015 installed on the new Windows 7 system, then you can double click on the backup image file (.TIB) in Windows Explorer and then navigate through the backup contents to copy & paste files, favourites etc to the new location.

Alternatively, you can mount the backup image as a drive letter, then do the same copy & paste.

Lastly, you could use the Acronis bootable Rescue Media to boot the new Windows 7 system with your backup drive holding the backup image file, then use the Recovery options to restore your files to the new location that way.  Note: if using this method and restoring files to a different system, then do not restore with their stored system privileges and security information, or else you will not be able to access the restore items. 

Thank you Steve I did not know you could double click the (.TIB) to open it up and pick and choose
