Using Universal Restore

The most recent operating systems remain bootable when recovered to dissimilar hardware, including the VMware or Hyper-V platforms. If a recovered operating system does not boot, use the Universal Restore tool to update the drivers and modules that are critical for the operating system startup.

Universal Restore is applicable to Windows and Linux.

  2. Click Apply Universal Restore.
  3. If there are multiple operating systems on the machine, choose the one to apply Universal Restore to.
