replace notebook hd

Can i do this:
clone the notebook hd to a desktop very large usb external drive
replace the notebook hd with a new hd
move the clone from the desktop to the notebook
reboot the notebook successfully on the new drive

My question is will the standalone ATI be able to move the clone on the desktop to the notebook? Currently the notebook is connected wireless. Any suggestions? TIA

 

The procedure you need is Backup not Clone. Backup makes an Image. Connect the usb drive to the laptop. Make the Image putting it on the usb drive.
Replace the laptop drive.
Boot with the True Image Rescue cd and Recover the Image to the new drive.

 

Same procedure as illustrated by my guides listed below; except, as DwnNdrty indicated, use the True Image Rescue CD and boot from it.

You can perform most functions from the CD including backups & restores.

After completion, disconnect the external before booting the first time into your new drive.

 

One more quick question. I have incremental backup on the usb drive. If i click the newest date does the restore run thru all the incremental s & the full backup to create the new hd? TIA

 

Hello jtmedin,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software.

That is correct. When starting a restore operation with an icremental backup, all data from all previous incremental backups and the original full one will be restored.

You can find the detailed instructions on how to use Acronis True Image Home in the respective User's Guide.

Please be aware that standalone version of current versions of Acronis True Image does not support wireless networking.

Thank you.
