Are you referring to the Universal Restore feature in the Plus Pack?
Restoring to dissimilar hardware can be challenging, difficult and/or impossible depending on the hardware and configuration differences between the two systems. Generally speaking, Universal Restore works by allowing you to replace the storage controller drivers needed to boot the OS. While you may get the migrated image to start, how well it runs in both the short and long term can be uncertain.
There can be a number of reasons why and variables which affect this success. While windows is remarkably resilient, each component difference can present another hurdle which must be overcome. If the differences are minimal, it's probably ok. If not, I personally recommend a fresh install, clean that will ensure system integrity.
Acronis offers multiple ways to perform a Universal Restore. The feature itself is included in the Plus Pack. You can also use the WinPE boot environment for adding drivers to a migrated image. The drivers themselves (the ones that are specific to the new hardware) and that are needed to boot are usually available from the manufacturer's website. Intel, AMD, or the motherboard manufacturer for example. Hope this information is helpful.
