new and nervous with new hardware build

Thread needs solution

Can 2015 allow me to move my old win 7 software to a new haswell cpu/mb/gpu build? I was told by one frys tech no way and a microcity tech saying "yes with a acronis 2015". If possible a summary of steps would be nice. Drivers have been updated and backed up seperately.
thanks for your time...

Just to clarify, I mean all software and partitions including all system files.

The answer to your question is yes and no.

Using Universal Restore, you will be able to restore an image of your current system to a new PC/motherboard.

However, Windows may require reactivating or a new licence purchased (Microsoft consider a new motherboard to mean a new computer). Depending on how other software you may have is activated, you may find node locked software will require unlocking.
