How to recover system to dissimilar hardware with EaseUS Todo Backup?

Before restoring the system to dissimilar hardware or other PCs, please ensure the two points: we must have an image backup of the Windows system, and the driver is compatible with the hardware. If there are no drivers compatible with the hardware, we need to manually specify where to find the driver(s) for the hardware.
Firstly we need to create the WinPE of EaseUS Todo Backup (Bootable CD/USB/Disk), then boot the computer, the screen will guide to enter into EaseUS Todo Backup.

EaseUS Todo Backup has been featured on dotTech multiple times in the past. EaseUS Todo Backup Free is featured in our review of best free backup program for Windows and we have reviewed EaseUS Todo Backup Home. Now we bring you a treat: free and unlimited dotTech exclusive giveaway of EaseUS Todo Backup Workstation ($39.95 value)!

For those that don’t know, EaseUS Todo Backup is a drive-level (image) backup program that allows you to backup and restore drives, partitions, and whole systems. On top of that, it also supports file-level backup plus has other features like drive cloning, system snapshot, and virtualization.

EaseUS Todo Backup comes in three versions: Free, Home, and Workstation. This giveaway is of Workstation. What makes EaseUS Todo Backup Workstation different from Free and Home versions are the following three major features that Workstation has:

  • Aility to restore to dissimilar hardware
  • Ability to virtualize your system (P2V)
  • Full support for dynamic drives (in addition to basic drives)

The following table, put together by EaseUS, explicitly lists out the features of this program and differences between the three versions:

Typically EaseUS Todo Backup Workstation would cost you $39.99. However, in cooperation with EaseUS, dotTech is giving away EaseUS Todo Backup Workstation (v5.8) for free for the next 72-hours!

Take note this giveaway includes Linux-based bootable recovery CD/DVD/USB but does not include WinPE-based bootable CD/DVD/USB. The major difference between Linux-based and WinPE-based is Linux-based can restore backups but cannot create backups; WinPE-based can create and restore backups. Since this giveaway does not include WinPE-based, that means you must create backups from within Windows using EaseUS Todo Backup Workstation and can restore backups using the Linux-based bootable media. Since EaseUS Todo Backup Workstation supports restore to dissimilar hardware, you can restore your backups on other computers using the Linux-based bootable media.

UPDATE: A number of dotTechies have reported this giveaway actually does include WinPE-based bootable media. That means you can create and restore backups from the recovery media. Enjoy!

That being said, to take advantage of this giveaway, do the following:

Version being given out for free: v5.8

Free updates: No

Free technical support: No
