Moving old Windows 10 system to new PC
Hi all,
I'm really struggling to move my old system to a new PC. I did it years ago using "Bare Metal Backup & Restore" but I can't seem to find that in my 2021 version of True Image. I made a full backup of my old system disk to a removable USB hard drive but when I try to do a "Recover" on my new PC it won't recognize and read the backup from the old system. I've used the "Rescue Media Builder" and "Acronis Universal Restore". I've created the bootable rescue drive on 3 different media, including the USB hard drive with the backup on it, and they all boot my new PC just fine - but that's where it ends. I just can't get the backup to restore onto my new system (which I've also backed up just in case).
My last effort was to download the "Disk Director 12.5" to try. Still unable to get a restore completed.
Anyone have any tips, directions, help they can pass along?
Thanks,
Ron

Thanks Steve,
Not sure exactly why but one of my recovery thumb drives finally booted up with the right Acronis Restore options and I was able to access my full backup from my old PC. I’m up & running on my new PC with only minor problems to work on. I’m not real happy with Dell as they removed the line-in & mic jacks on this desktop (Inspiron 3880) and I’ve been recording all of my vinyl records. I’ll be adding a new sound card with all the jacks on it. I couldn’t find any explanation as to why they did this online but did find some other people complain about it.
Thank you for your response. I’ll be saving the links in the event I need them in the future.

Ron, not good news about the absence of line-in. Rather than getting PCIe sound card, a USB DAC may be better value. You can find them on eBay and Amazon. There is a wide range of possible USB solutions.

Thanks Ian - I'm trying both. Not real satisfied with the SoundBlaster I got so will test the USB when it is delivered.
