Acronis Clone, two identicate PC Hardware Systems Unique Win 764-bit move disk from PC-1 to PC-2

Thread needs solution

Hi,

Have 2 identical hardware Acer PC's running Win 7 64-bit (each system has it's own Windows License, etc.).

Hardware (Motherboard/Power Supply/Video) for PC-1 is dead although the Hard Drive is intact.  This PC has many more programs that I use than PC-2. 

Can I relocate the physical Hard Drive from PC-1 to PC-2 (replacing old PC-2 drive) and boot from the newly installed PC-1 drive?  Or are there Windows restriction re system serial number or so other method? 

Been using Acronis products for years with many successful recoveries.  The Hard Drive from PC-1 was successfully Cloned on PC-1 recently.  

Thank you,  Jim

Hi James,

Windows might require a reactivation, but it shouldn't make any problems. Moreover, it is expected behavior if you move your system to a different hardware: https://kb.acronis.com/content/36187

However, I would recommend contacting Microsoft support to get more details about Windows licensing.

Thank you,
