About TI2013 - "Migrate"
Product description says:
True Image 2013 Plus Pack is here to make your hardware migration as easy as a click of your mouse. No matter what the make, model or installed components of your computer, easily restore files, programs, or your entire system to different hardware, dynamic disks, and even Microsoft Windows Pre-installation Environments (WinPE).

Well my new hardware is new mainboard + cpu... so, does this "migration" can do what i think it can by description: get my hdd from a system and put it in new system/hardware-configuration, and then it will work as i'm on the old hardware-config/system ?
Is this possible with "True Image 2013 Plus Pack" or by "your hardware" you mean "your storage drive" and migration is only migration of data between hard drives ?
Let me know if my question is hard to understand
I have just purchased and installed an upgrade to TI 2013 and purchased and installed the TI 2013 Plus Pack but I cannot see the Universal Restore function or any instructions on how to move my XP HDD to my new machine and make it operational.
Can anyone explain how to achieve the move or point me to some instructions?
Edit: I have done some more research and I think this is the article I was looking for:
This is so confusing, so you have to make a back up, but nobody says where to make it to and the default is that TI 2013 with Plus Pack will have UR function in place when one does a restore (not mentioned anywhere in comments here). Not very clear about when or where to put the new drivers or whether one needs 1, 2 or 3 HDDs to accomplish all of this. Make me a video and post it on YouTube... something!

And instead of saying post for comments it says save or preview below...?
When I changed my hardware I made backups of both my SATA drives to an external HDD and created an acronis boot disc on a DVD. I installed my new motherboard and my old SATA drives then booted the system with acronis boot disc.
The drivers disc it requires is the original operating system disc. You will also need the drivers disc if like me you have changed your motherboard.
If I remember correctly I had to reboot the machine a couple of times to get it to pick up the drivers from the old SATA drives.
I't a while ago since I did it so forgive me if things are a little vague.
So, nobody mentioned that one might be booting several times running the Aronis DVD bootable rescue software to complete each section of the recovery (more missing bits). Even then I have not seen it load drivers for the MB yet and, so far, can't boot my HDD. The Acronis program doesn't give any feedback (other than recovering 1 of 3, 2 of 3 or 3 of 3-where I am now for the 2nd time) as to where one is in the process or when the drivers will be loaded. The program will be running and I keep checking the time it says it has left and suddenly I look and it has shut down. I start it back up and select for Windows to start and.... nothing! so far... I get no messages when booting back up about continuing the process. Very, very poorly done programming, in my humble opinion, for user interaction. Did the tech department even have a normal user or users try this program to see if more guidance or message screens might help in the process?
I thought I could avoid having to reinstall everything and that this would be less of a problem... we'll see.

Sorry for the venting and frustration. Thanks for the feedback, this was a learning experience and I have figured most things out and have 2 new systems up and running with one minor casualty and an extra activation to be deleted (done when a HDD was used and I needed to install my program on it to do anything). Still adjusting everything but now have all of the pieces in place.
