Once Windows boots, it will initialize the standard procedure for installing new hardware. The
network adapter driver will be installed silently if the driver has the Microsoft Windows signature.
Otherwise, Windows will ask for confirmation on whether to install the unsigned driver.
After that, you will be able to configure the network connection and specify drivers for the video
adapter, USB and other devices.
5.2.2.2 Applying Universal Restore to multiple operating systems
During recovery, you can use Universal Restore for operating systems of a certain type: all Windows
systems, all Linux systems, or both.
If your selection of volumes to recover contains multiple Windows systems, you can specify all
drivers for them in a single list. Each driver will be installed in the operating system for which it is
intended.
5.3 Recovering BIOS-based systems to UEFI-based and
vice versa
Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 supports transferring 64-bit Windows operating systems between
BIOS-based hardware and hardware that supports Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI).
How it works
Depending on whether the machine uses BIOS or UEFI firmware for booting, the disk with the system
volume must have a specific partitioning scheme. The partitioning scheme is master boot record
(MBR) for BIOS, and GUID partition table (GPT) for UEFI.
In addition, the operating system itself is sensitive to the type of firmware.
When performing a recovery to a machine that has a type of firmware that is different from the
firmware of the original machine, Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5:
Initializes the disk to which you are recovering the system volume either as an MBR disk or as a
GPT disk, depending on the new firmware.
Adjusts the Windows operating system so that it can start on the new firmware.
For details, including the list of Windows operating systems that can be adjusted this way, see

Recommendations
Recover the entire system onto uninitialized disks.
When migrating to UEFI-based hardware, use Linux-based bootable media. PE-based bootable
media and Acronis PXE Server do not support UEFI.
Remember that BIOS does not allow using more than 2 TB of disk space.
Limitations
Transferring a Linux system between UEFI and BIOS is not supported.
Transferring a Windows system between UEFI and BIOS is not supported if a backup is stored in any
of these locations:
