Question about Acronis True Image

I have a licensed copy of Acronis True Image 2014 that I have been using successfully on my win 7 computer, booting from an installation CD rather than installing the program on my hard drive.

My question is, will this version of True Image work successfully on my Win 11 computer, when used in this manner? I'm particularly concerned about a program this old being able to boot from a CD. I'm having trouble getting answers from Acronis (they've always been difficult to reach for tech support).

Thanks.

Supported operating systems

Acronis True Image 2014 has been tested on the following operating systems:

Windows XP SP3
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition SP2
Windows Vista SP2 (all editions)
Windows 7 SP1 (all editions)
Windows 8 (all editions)
Windows 8.1 (all editions)
Windows Home Server 2011

Acronis True Image 2014 also lets you create a bootable CD-R/DVD-R that can back up and recover a disk/partition on a computer running any Intel- or AMD- based PC operating system, including Linux®. (Note that the Intel-based Apple Macintosh is not supported.)

From a quick read of the Acronis forum, Rufus doesn't like ISO files created by TI 2014. But you can use Ventoy instead.
Secure Boot has to be disabled, since 2014 is using an outdated boot image.

Is there any reason you are using such an old version of Acronis True Image?

Have you tried the Acronis Support Forum? There are a number of knowledgeable people there. I have gotten help a few times there.

One time when no one could help I was called by someone from Acronis. He did a remote connection to my computer and fixed the problem.

Back in the spring of 2024 there was a popup message in Acronis True Image. I was given a chance to upgrade to Acronis True Image 2025 (perpetual license). I had 1 license for ATI 2017 and 4 for ATI 2018. I upgraded all to ATI 2025.

BTW, I bet you might have received that offer also if you had actually installed ATI 2014.

I have ATI 2025 installed on 5 computers. I have it do automatic backups. I have the standalone version installed on a bootable flash drive. I normally only use when I need to clone drives. For example, I cloned a 1TB to a 2TB SSD. The desination data partition was automatically resized to fill the entire drive.

Note Acronis stopped selling perpetual licenses for ATI at the end of 2021 and only sold subscriptions to ATI after that. I was surprised when I was able to buy a perpetual license again. I suspect they may never make that offer again.
