Will soon be changing computers, does Acronis do the job to transfer all files? If other options please let me know.

I've been using Acronis for years its good, if you BackUp your whole drive (C) with BiaB in it and transfer over to new machine should be no worries with authorization etc. Just to be safe de-authorize the current BiaB before doing so. If your just doing acronis BiaB tib from windows you will need all the other files that goes with windows and thats a pain in the fingers.

You can just copy all the BIAB files "by hand" then run just the BIAB installer on the new machine to set up the system to point at the right folders, copy DLLs etc.
Unregistering on the old machine is good advice.

I really like that method.. I do a file backup of my BIAB folder every night. A re-install makes sure fonts and setting are all re-integrated into the OS. De-Re registering is a key step.

He is changing computers so I think that he is talking about Acronis's Universal Restore. I use Acronis for my backups but have no idea how the Universal Restore works. Does anyone have any experience with this and if so could they explain how it works.
I am interested also.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Hi MarioD
Like you I have used Acronis for a number of years and its been a life saver My understanding of Acronis Universal is that you can choose the elements you require to put on to a different computer and skip the possible different issues like the operating system for example I did it on my change over a couple of years ago and it saved hours of reloading jazzman

I've used Acronis for years (and have restored images a number of times as the result of failed hard drives, but only on the same computer). But I have never done a Universal Restore from one PC to another. Sounds like Jazzman had some success with it. I would obviously take a full image of the new computer first, just in case the Universal Restore didn't.
With Windows, I imagine you need to make sure your versions match (home versus pro) so that licensing/authorization at the O/S level works properly.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
