Using U/Restore to Disssimilar...
Hey,
After a few years with Acronis there now be a need to use the U/R addon. To recover to a different machine, same model motherboard, AMD 3-core to an AMD 4 core processor, different harddrive and same type of DDR2 Ram, is this "Dissimilar" hardware? Seems like this is similar hardware but I can't find a definitive breakdown of what is dissimilar. From what i can determine there are only 2 different HAL,dll's, the m/b chipset drivers are the same. Win 7 x64 has a generic version of these drivers when installed so do i need to use U/R? Everything is straight across ie... SATA 3.0 to SATA 3.0, Athlon II to Athlon II. I would like to be sure beforehand so I don't waste worktime and look unprepared.
thanks for any enlightenment,
michael clyde

BTW:
You can youde the rescue media also and convert this working PC to a virtual and from virtual back again to a the new Phicial computer (its calling convert), it will clean all the drivers that you do not need.

Thank you David for a fast answer. My auto-notify must not be set correctly. I had put the operation off until now anyway so, perhaps it will work out.
Thanks again for both answers,

@ David Avi or anyone,
Do you think Microsoft "SysPrep" should be used on an OS/Partition beforehand that will be backed up and restored to different hardware using Acronis w/Universal Restore¿
thanks,

Moreover if you sysprep your OS before backup, AUR won't be able to detect the OS inside of the image and you won't be able to apply it.
So it is either sysprep or AUR
