2.1 Installing Acronis True Image Home

To install Acronis True Image Home as part of Acronis Backup and Security:

Web site. If available, the newer version will be offered for installation.

 In the Install Menu, select the program to install: Acronis Backup and Security.

 Follow the install wizard instructions on the screen. For more information on installing Acronis

User’s Guide.

When installed, Acronis True Image Home creates a new device in the Device Manager list (Control

Panel → System → Hardware → Device Manager → Acronis Devices → Acronis True Image Backup

Archive Explorer). Do not disable or uninstall this device, as it is necessary for connecting image

archives as virtual disks (see Exploring archives and mounting images (p. 133)).
