With paragon I don't have to worry about searching for drivers like universal restore??
</div>


<div>
Depends on what you mean about &quot;worrying&quot;. &nbsp;The point of adaptive restore is to get the critical boot drivers fixed so your image can boot on the new hardware. &nbsp;Adding drivers later is usually trivial using a program like Snappy Driver Installer or DriverPack Solution
</div>


<div>
OK I mean by I won't have to worry about getting windows to boot like universal restore??? <br />
<br />
I consider universal restore a failure
</div>


<div>
Yes, adaptive restore will get the image to boot, usually with generic (built-in) drivers, then you will need to add the &quot;real&quot; ones later.
</div>


<div>
Did you read and understand my link? The main point it makes clear is &quot;&nbsp;if you are using S-ATA/P-ATA drives [as source and as target], your system should just work&quot;.<br />
The only time when manual adaptations are needed is when the new system uses a hard drive controller for which it has no driver for. Therefore, drive snapshot and all the universal restore solutions offer to add drivers right to the restored drive prior to booting it.

<div>
i had never to search for a driver<br />
what happens is this :<br />
the adaptive restore restores a &quot;basic&quot; OS without drivers<br />
then when booted, it starts installing the drivers for the new devices
</div>


<div>
I am not getting mouse or keyboard when I load with the USB bootable
</div>


<div>
Is this a Skylake based device? &nbsp;Windows 7 doesn't have XHCI (USB controller) support out of the box.
</div>


<div>
On optiplex 745 no mouse but in hp 425 I getting mouse
</div>


<div>
You tried the top USB ports in the back and the front ones?
</div>


<div>
if you have a dvd drive - use that to boot from - never problems
</div>

restoring image to a different pc

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.
