Clone Between Systems
Question for you all. I have a Windows 10 Home 64 bit Desktop, that has the very latest full version of Acronis 2019 and it works great. I'd restored my PC twice last year with the 2017 version of it, with no problems, back when the early version Creators Update was causing many machines hell. My PC has the latest of the Windows updates now, without any issues. I regularly do a full back up to a separate internal disk which is also copied to a USB drive. I run some really complex Audio software (Cakewalk Sonar and hundreds of VST effects plug-ins). It took forever to install them on this about a year and a half ago when I'd got that. My aim is to get a laptop eventually powerful enough to equal my desktop.
Then I would basically do a clone of C drive and do a Universal Restore on that Laptop overwriting the OEM Win 10 64 bit home version that will be on it once I bring it home from the store. If not mistaken this should go flawlessly, and then my laptop will boot with what is on my C: drive at my Desktop and maybe with some updating drivers minor stuff related to new hardware easily fixed. Will it recognize that OEM license somehow (from BIOS?) Or, will it say that I currently am running in the 30 day trial and to input that, then I put in that license number, and that's it, all finished? Please let me know if you've seen this done or if I am missing any essential steps in this process. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your great response. I do store my full backup of desktop on two different drives, one kept in another place to be safe. Thanks for the BIOS tips, I would definitely utilize that. Both will have SSD, the Desktop has a Samsung 850 standard style, and the Laptop will have the PCIe. No RAID. I've got a multi machine license for Acronis so I would probably do a full backup of the laptop to an external drive, so if this operation fails, I could restore the laptop to at least factory settings. Yes, I would definitely consider a new license for Windows 10 if needed. The ability to have it mirror what is on my Desktop is priceless. Acronis is the first to really allow this.
