Hello PA,

if you use cloned disk on dissimilar hardware, system won't boot because it doesn't contain needed for new hardware drivers. It means that to make your system boot on dissimilar hardware you'll need to add drivers into this particular Windows installation, which can be done  with Acronis Universal restore.

For more information please refer to these articles:

BTW according to our upgrade policy you were eligible for free upgrade to Acronis True Image 2015. I requested this upgrade for you and now you can find the serial number and installation file under your account.

Thank you.
