You provide it with a folder full of drivers, it'll handle the rest. Acronis True Image cannot clone RAIDs set up as LVM or LDM. Cloning is supported only for simple disk partitioning systems, such as MBR and GPT. It is recommended not to format the source hard disk after the cloning until you are sure that the cloned target disk boots fine. I don't know if the home version of Acronis does it but their Snap Deploy software has a feature called "Universal Deploy" that'll generalize the image. We recommend cloning to an internal SSD or HDD instead. If your hardware is too disparate, like different boot types or too much motherboard changes, then you need something to generalize the image. Windows is fully capable of having multiple hardware profiles so no issues. The Windows HAL will detect the new hardware when you start up and install the basic drivers, then you reboot and do specific drier installs. So long as you have the same type of harddrive interface (meaning legacy, AHCI, nVME, etc) it'll probably work. How well something like that works depends on how close the systems are, and how you do the image. My perspective is anyway (as yours) is if you have a new machine it's probably time for a new clean build, the only time I would consider that option is in an emergency.
