Backing up my laptop hard drive to PC hard drive

Thread needs solution

I have Acronis True Image 2014 installed on my PC, which is running Windows 7 Home Edition SP1.
Whilst I am familiar with creating backups of my PC to an external USB hard drive, I am not sure how to create a backup of my new laptop (which is running Windows 7 Ultimate). I wish to create an image of the laptop hard drive to the external USB hard drive, but using Acronis rather than the program available from Dell. Acronis is of course installed on my PC but not on my laptop.
Is this possible and if so what is the easiest way of going about this?

It is possible to use the generic user createdTrueImage Recovery CD and perform a disk option backup when the laptop is booted via the CD.
The laptop can have its own tib storage folder on the same external disk.

Technically, Acronis says you need a second license as it is a second computer.
