if I want to buy a new pc (different spec) and still using the same hard drive from my old computer. It looks like I can make it using the windows 7 native image tool with the use of sysprep?!! I knew product like Arcronis and paragon able to do this, but didn't know windows 7's native tool could achieve this too.... is this true? Here is the article I found but I haven't tested it yet. And if it works, even with Acronis or Paragon, does this break license agreement of OEM and retail license?<br />

Does the windows 7 image tool support dissimilar hardware restore?

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
