Basically, my grandpa has recently installed Windows 7 and I am still on XP. He recently decided he wants to go back to XP, so has done that. He has still got a full Acronis backup of his Windows 7 installation though.
What I want to know is whether I can use that backup to restore his copy of 7, as nobody is using it and there's absolutely no point buying another copy when there's one going spare. I need to bear in mind though whether the file formats are different or whether this will balls everything up completely as I am on XP.
My system specs are :
Intel i5 2500K
ASUS P8Z68-V/Gen3
1TB Seagate Barracuda
8GB Corsair Vengeance
Thank you in advance.
