You can also move the system from a computer with BIOS to a computer with UEFI.As all modern PCs have UEFI, you are not going to have any problems.But if you try to move Windows from a computer with UEFI to a computer with BIOS, it will not work. The system image will not be restored and you will see an error message saying about incompatibility of different versions of microcode.• When the recovery process is successful, the computer will restart and boot the same Windows which you used to create the image.System transfer is shown on the example of Windows 10. In Windows 7, your actions will be the same. Just when you unfold the image on a new PC, the recovery environment interface will be different.
