Restore system backup to new hardware...
Sandy did damage my computer, either the MB or the CPU (Intel i5-760) is fried. At this point, it is not known, if my drives bit the dust as well. There are backups on the external drive, both Windows and Macrium images.
The system being built has different MB and Intel i5-3350P CPU. This is an "unplanned" system hardware update and no preparation had been made for the Windows 7 drive for the migration.
Pulling off the data from the drives doesn't seem much of an issue with the new system, provided all six drives work. Restoring the "old" Windows 7 system on the other hand seems much harder. Microsoft does not support restoring system state to a different hardware platform.
Does anyone has experience with restoring Windows 7 system sate to new hardware?
TIA...
