Back up and restore to new hardware
I had to change Motherboard and CPU also Ram. I kept old Hard drives 3 internal one external. The Computer store told me that I can not recover my programs from the back ups to be used on the new Computer as all the Hardware is different. I will need to reinstall all of it. I did not know that this restriction exists. I am using Acronis 2016. This is a total pain. Is there a way to get my programs back without needing to re install them? If the hardware had remained the same all would be well.Regards Peter
