Good to know it works for you Marc.
I had tried either Acronis 2014 or 2015, can't remember which but was getting Windows Genuine errors when cloning, same MB same everything else, just HDD change.
This was on an old XP (Genuine).
Have you tried it on laptops by any chance?
I tried Acronis on my Win7 lappy and again same problem.
As you know you need to take the original out of the lappy first and clone it back into the new HDD in the lappy.
Would like to try Acronis again but don't want to risk it with the lappy....
At the moment I don't have a desktop machine to try.
