This section describes the Acronis proprietary technology that helps you to deploy and boot Windows on dissimilar hardware. Acronis Universal Deploy saves you from configuring a new master system for each make of hardware you need to perform deployment to.
If you plan to deploy Windows to multiple machines that are identical to each other but differ from the master machine hardware, deploy the master image to one of the identical machines by using Acronis Universal Deploy. This will adjust Windows to the dissimilar hardware. Then, create a master image of the adjusted system and deploy that image to the identical machines.
The Acronis Universal Deploy option is not available in the stand-alone deployment mode.
