| | I think yes, but that depends of the backup software, what did you use to create the backup? |

| | If it's full or Upgrade version retail, you can move it to any hardware of your choice as long as it is on only one machine at a time. If it's factory or builder's OEM it is locked to the mobo first installed upon. You don't need to SysPrep the HD to simply reimage old HD to new one. Windows 7 backup imaging allows change of HD which is why they want the image stored externally. |
