Can I restore a Windows 7 Disk Image to the second hard drive
1 down vote favorite
I am going to have to replace my computer as it has reached the end of its working life. It operates under Windows 7. The new computers I am looking at already have Windows 7 installed and have two hard drives. I have been using my existing computer for a number of years and really don't want to go to the bother of reinstalling all the applications and then configuring them as to how I like them.
I have seen software on sale that allows system transfers between computers with different configurations but am a bit dubious about using them. What I would like to know is whether I can restore my system image produced using the Windows 7 utility on to the second hard drive of the new machine. Would I then be able to use my old programs in the way I like without affecting the new Windows 7 configuration.
All my data files are backed up separately and there should be no problem restoring them
