Thread needs solution

Hello, am considering to clone a Windows image from my PC to my laptop (with no OS currently available on it) . My questions are:

1. Is Acronis Home the product I need to do this, or any other product from Acronis?

2. What additional tools I will need to perform the cloning of my Windows to another machine?

3. Any step-by-step guide available to perform this process?

Hoping to read from anyone soon on this issue, cheers.

Most laptops are sold with a version of Windows that is not transferrable to another machine, so it probalby won't work regardless of what imaging product you use.

That issue aside, your current machine undoubvtedly has different hardware and therefore diff hardware drivers than your laptop. so you would have to be able to incorporate those into the restore for it to be bootable. There are a couple of ways to do that, using sysprep, buying and using the Acronis ATI Plus Pack, or other more complicated methods. Still you'd have to have a version of Windows that allowed it to be run on a different machine.
