There may be a blue-screen (BSOD) or it may continually reboot. Restore is completed using the Acronis recovery CD (Universal Restore), but the operating system will not boot correctly. That will give you more recovery options and they are much faster to take and to restore! I would consider a local backup as the primary means and an offsite/cloud backup as your secondary option, in case the 1st fails. In the meantime, make sure you are also taking local backups. When restoring to a completely new computer though, you're going to have different challenges than restoring to the original computer because of Microsoft licensing requirements and variations in motherboard bios capabilities. Ultimately, as long as you have a full backup, you should have options for restoring, but may take some trial and error. Some bios are locked and won't allow legacy/MBR. The hardware check is what Microsoft uses now to reactivate a reinstall.Ģ) Are the old and new system booting the OS the same way? Are they both legacy/MBR or both UEFI/GPT OS installs? If they are different, you can convert an older legacy OS install to a UEFI install during the restore and make it bootable, but you can't go backwardsĪdditionally, the new PC bios settings may need to be changed to allow booting afterwards. You can't take a Windows 7 OEM licensed OS and just dump it on an a different OEM computer that came with Windows 10 OEM licenseĪssuming the new system came with a similar OEM license (like for like), you still need to activate the original OEM license at least once to make sure it's registered with Microsoft. 
It should be possible, but really depends.ġ) Does the new system have the same OS and license?
That said, if you are cloning one system to another, or taking a backup of one and planning to restore to another, there are a lot of other considerations as well. Agree with Steve! No backup scheme is 100%.
