Shadowsports,
Starting with True Image 2014 build 6688, Universal Restore is now a separate operation.
Jerimiah,
Are you using the latest version of Universal Restore? There was an update on July 29. I haven't tested it yet, but I know the previous version didn't recognize Windows 10.
Joey,
Indeed, Aug of 2014. I had forgotten. Thank you
Jerimiah,
6613 was released on the 29th of last month. It included the latest UR update. The UR software has been expanded. Previously it relied on your ability to supply drivers for chipset and storage controller. The new add-on will also search the default system directory typically /windows/inf and will replace ACPI, mass storage, USB and network adapter drivers if found/available. The drivers need to be in a extracted format. *.inf, *.sys or *.oem extensions.
Exe files can be unpacked using 7-zip or you can unpack from a command prompt >filename.exe /a
You can specify a network location using a UNC path or use the add driver option to manually specify a location. The software will automatically search sub folders if they are contained in the specified directory path. Let us know if you need more help.
I'm going to reinstalled Ati2015. make a new backup and USB bootable recovery. Aslo make a new UR. With the latest version and give that a shot. I understand the mass storage drivers ect. I just cant click on the select OS section in the current version I am running. Not sure which one since I am at work. Will post back with the version and results this evenings. Thanks for the advice guys.
Figured it out finally. Thanks for your time guys. Sorry for the late response. Had a old hard drive that windows install the boot partition on transfered it to my windows installation drive booyaa bootable OS restored non grayed out is option in universal restore. Thanks again guys.
I am requesting your advice on reinstalling your product on my existing Dell Latitude E5430 laptop, currently running Windows 7 Enterprise. I will be wiping this personal machine clean, due to changing my employer, and installing Windows 8, and then Windows 10, as available. This is a 64-bit machine.

Please advise the following:
1. Specific steps for re-installation
2. Compatibility with Windows 8 and Windows 10
3. Is this product re-installation better between Windows 8 and Windows 10, or does it matter ?
Your help in this is most appreciated.

There is no difference between Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 with the latest build, in terms of installation.
Simply reinstall the product, and go through the activation process.
