Uninstall TI 2009 Prior to Win 7 Upgrade?

Thread needs solution

Is it necessary to uninstall TI 2009 prior to upgrading to Windows 7 Home Premium from Vista Home Premium and then reinstall after the upgrade is complete?

I ran Windows 7 upgrade advisor and it had a few recommendations for programs to be removed and then reinstalled after the upgrade was completed - iTunes 9 as an example. For TI 2009 it states: "we don't have any compatibility information about this version of the program."

I read in the forums here about others using TI 2009 on Windows 7 even though it's not officially supported, so I'm going to give it a try too. I have just the basics of TI 2009 installed (no secure zone, etc.) and use it only for manual system images once a week or so to an external USB drive. No schedules or such.

Thanks for any tips.

Hello DJB,

Thank you for using  Acronis True Image

It’s not necessary to reinstall the program before system upgrade. You are correct Acronis True Image Home 2009 doesn’t officially support Windows 7, so we can’t guarantee proper functionality if the program.

At the moment, the following Acronis products support Windows 7:

(!) Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 supports Windows 7 with the following limitations:

  • Mounting backups stored in Acronis Secure Zone is not possible;
  • Mounting backups located on a network share in read/write mode is not possible;
  • The Active Restore feature is not available when restoring a system volume in Windows from a backup stored in Acronis Secure Zone;
  • User accounts generated for Acronis services during the product installation may appear on the Windows 7 logon screen;
  • Acronis Storage Node does not support tape drives. See Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Tape Support in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7.

(!) Acronis Snap Deploy 3 supports deployment of images of Windows 7, both with and without Acronis Universal Deploy. Installation of Acronis Snap Deploy 3 components on Windows 7 is not guaranteed.

So I would recommend you to purchase Acronis True Image Home 2010 Upgrade using our online store.

Thanks for the reply. To be clear, did you mean "uninstall" rather than "reinstall"?

After upgrading to WIN7, my acronis explorer driver was not passed over and I couldn't MOUNT images. TI 2010.
I had an error on repair and was forced to uninstall and reinstall to get everything right
