No. Norton Ghost is limited and only lets you create images of workstation systems to make restoration easier. To create initial images, you need to have Ghost running within a working Microsoft Windows operating system; you cannot create a backup image if Windows has failed. Selkie Freedom is designed to run even on systems where Windows has become corrupted because it does not depend on Windows in any way. LapLink’s PC Mover requires installation on both the old and new computers, while Selkie Freedom doesn’t require any installation at all. Additionally, PC Mover requires that Windows works and is in good condition; this is not often the case with an older computer that needs its migration moved. PC Mover will not work at all if Windows doesn’t work. Selkie Freedom will work – even if Windows doesn’t!
