Is WD MyPassort or easystore better for doing Acronis imaging?

Thread needs solution

One of these days, my old computer with Win7 and Windows Live Mail will fail. I desperately want to keep that OS and WLM. I have a newer computer with Win10 and their Mail, and hate it!
I’m told that I can make a system image with Acronis and transfer it to a new internal hard drive, which would allow me to continue using Win7 and WLM.
If that’s true, should I get a WD My Passport, or easystore? Both are on sale now at Best Buy for the same price, so I want to make sure one or both will do what I’m asking.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I just bought the WD My Passport. It comes with a 3 year warranty as opposed to 2 for the Easystore. I'd recommend the Passport. You can make a system image and restore it to new system. If your computer has an Win7 OEM (system builder) license because you purchased it from a manufacturer it will not activate on the new hardware. If you have a Retail License no problem. Microsoft locks the OEM licenses to the hardware it was installed on.
