True Image restore
I have been using TI since version 8. I have a computer with version 2009. That particular version doesn't have the plus pack. When TI creates an image, is there something different in the tib files it creates if you have the standard version vs the version with the plus pack? What I'm attempting to do is, the older computer is on it's last legs. I'd like to know if I take my 2013 boot disk, which has the plus pack, and use it to restore the image to a different computer, will it work? The computer I want to restore to is older also, so the 2009 version is compatible since both computers are Windows XP. I just need to know if, since the hardware is different, will the 2013 boot disk allow me to copy between two different computers. I need to keep that particular computer with the Windows XP and don't want to reinstall everything from scratch.

I don't think I made the situation clear. I have two computers. The old computer has TI2009 and my new computer has TI2013. Is it possible for me to use the 2013 boot disk and restore the 2009 image to an older computer with different hardware than the computer the image was made from? Is there something within the image from the 2009 computer which would prevent this? I don't want to just copy the data files, I want programs, etc.

You wrote" restore the 2009 image to an older computer with different hardware than the computer the image was made from?"
If you want the 2009 image restored to overlay the existing contents of the old target computer so the target computer will be identical to the 2009 version computer, then YES, this is possible but you willl need the PLUS PACK addition to 2013; or the 2014 PREMIUM version.
In the older versions, this added programs were called the PLUS pack. In 2014, the equivalent is the PREMIUM VERsion.
If more info needed on how to do this, check this KB article and review some prior posting on this forum about restoring to dis-similar hardware.
You will need to gather all required drivers for the target computer and these drives will be installed as part of install process of the 2009 image restore. If you have furhter question about restoring to dis-similar hardware, you may want to start a new topic.
