Update 2010.6053 fresh install or just update?

Thread needs solution

Hi,

i just don't know if it's better to first uninstall my current built of True Image 2010 and then install the 2010.6053 update.

Or can i just perform the update savely without uninstalling the old built?Wouldn't this give some bad results for my currently active Startup Recovery Manager?

Thank you.

Hello Ivo,

I understand the question and will do everything possible from my side to give you a clear explanation.

The latest update of an Acronis product can be installed over the existing version of the same product. It can also be installed from scratch on a clean system. Acronis Startup Recovery Manager will stay intact in both cases. Note that any update of any Acronis software is a full product.

Installing the latest version or build of an Acronis product over the existing version reinstalls Acronis drivers in the system. Depending on how major the update is, this operation may or may not require the system reboot.

Installation over an existing version will not ask for a serial number.

You can also take a look at Difference between an Upgrade and an Update.

After updating, it is also recommended to recreate Acronis Bootable Media to have better hardware support.

Note that Acronis does not guarantee that images (backup archives) created with a newer build of the product will be supported by older builds. This means that restoring an image created with Acronis True Image Build 8163 may fail with Acronis True Image Build 8076.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Thank you.
