9. Select the Acronis components to place on the media.
You can select 32-bit and/or 64-bit components. The 32-bit components can work on 64-bit
hardware. However, you need 64-bit components to boot a 64-bit computer that uses Unified
Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI).
To use the media on different types of hardware, select both types of components. When
booting a machine from the resulting media, you will be able to select 32-bit or 64-bit
components on the boot menu.
If Acronis True Image 2021 is installed on your computer, you can place it on the media as well.
In this case, you will have a single bootable media containing both components required for
recovery to dissimilar hardware.
10. Select a destination for the media:
CD
DVD
USB flash drive
ISO image file
You will need to specify the .iso file name and the destination folder.
When the .iso file is created, you can burn it onto a CD or DVD. For example, in Windows 7
and later, you can do this using a built-in burning tool. In File Explorer, double-click the
created ISO image file, and then click Burn.
11. Specify the mass storage drivers to be used by Acronis Universal Boot.
You do not have to add the drivers now. You can do this later when you apply Acronis Universal
Boot to a computer.
12. Click Proceed.
When the media is created, unplug it from your computer. This is your Acronis Universal Boot
media.
