Restore Win 8 Pro to Win 7 Pro

Thread needs solution

Having a lot of issues with Win 8 Pro. Cannot update to Win 8.1 Pro or Win 10 Pro. Have all the updates in place for Win * pro, updated all drivers, unplugged any device not needed for the upgrade.

Purchased new HDD and want to load Win 7 Pro and then restore the apps, files, programs from my Win 8 Pro HDD to my new drive.

Any help would be appreciated.

Currently running Acronis 2018. Have several backups saved.

Melvin, welcome to these User Forums.

Please see KB 19296: Acronis products cannot be used to transfer applications to different system or upgrade OS

Sorry but what you are asking is not possible using Acronis True Image - if you have a backup of your working Win 7 OS with all installed applications, then you could restore that, but the process is all or nothing for OS backups.
