Puzzled about Plus Pack?

Thread needs solution

I'm considering whether to buy the PP for TI 2013.
Am I correct in believing that if my PC dies, I need the PP to restore my system to a new PC?

Thanks.

The Plus Pack enables 2 key features: producing a WinPE-based recovery disk, and enabling universal restore. These 2 are independent.

A WinPE-disk is necessary only if the standard recovery disk doesn't work on your hardware.

Universal restore is necessary only if your:
- restore to another computer,
- change the disk settings in the BIOS of your current machine (ie from IDE to RAID)

If your disk dies, you don't need Universal Restore to restore to the a new disk on the same machine with the same disk BIOS settings.
