Restore backup to new computer?

Thread needs solution

Trying to help a friend. Her old computer is being replaced under warranty. Need to use a full system backup from old computer and restore it to drive on new computer to get all work file data and software installations and configs easily transferred if possible (she has a LOT of applications and work files).

Both drives are same size, same manufacturer (dell) and same OS (win 7 64bit) but slightly newer and thus different model notebook.

She has Acronis True Image Home 2012 I believe (I have 2011).

Is this possible? If so, is there any information available on the right procedure to follow to accomplish this? I have searched but I have not found any.

Thanks,
Simeon

Yes but you need the plus pack to be able to restore to different hardware. See http://forum.acronis.com/forum/3426 sections 7 F,G,H.
