Thread needs solution

I just lost everything trying to use universal restore. I knew pc was dying. Has anyone successfully moved an entire pc to a different pc?. I say it can't be done!. acronis gurus couldn't do it. We tried for 5 days. I may be done with acronis, been using ATI for almost 20 years. I actually ended up losing 2 computers in this fiasco.

Steven, welcome to these public User Forums.

There are many posts within the forums showing that users have been able to successfully migrate their full Windows OS, applications and user data from a source PC to a different target PC, but each such migration will have its own unique factors that needed to be considered.

Without knowing more about your own migration environment, it is difficult for us to comment on the experience you are raising in this forum topic.

Some initial questions (assuming you want to take this matter further via the forum)?

  1. Do you have a full Disk & Partitions backup of your old dying PC created with ATI?
  2. What version of Windows OS was on that PC?
  3. What version of ATI were you using during the migration process?
  4. What process did you follow for the migration?
  5. What was your old PC and how different was this from the new target PC?

Sorry to read about your losing 2 computers but do not understand why that should be?  Obviously if the source PC was dying and not able to be repaired, that accounts for one computer, but if proper care was taken, other PC's should not have been put at risk.
