"Before performing an ASR restore, ensure that the target system to which 
the restore will be made meets the following requirements:
The target system hardware (except for hard disks, video cards, and 
network adapters) is identical to that of the original system."

Since this will not be the case (the hardware will not be identical, 
obviously), not all of this will apply. This also (mostly)  presupposes 
the use of Windows Backup, which we obviously don't use either. :-)
