Cannot boot into standalone mode when cloning a surface pro 3 disk to USB attached drive
I am using Acronis True Image 2014 and trying to clone a new Surface Pro 3 system disk. After selecting the source and the destination drives, Acronis must reboot to clone the system disk. When the surface pro 3 reboots it comes backup in windows not in the Acronis stand alone utility. Is cloning for the Surface Pro 3 supported by True Image 2014 or 2015? I will upgrade if that will work but I don't want to upgrade unless it does.
Could it be that I do not have the correct UEFI/Bios settings? Can someone tell me what settings are required if they must be modified.
Thanks

I am on Windows 8.1. The surface Pro 3 uses WIndows 8.1 and only supports UEFI. There is not option in the BIOS to enable legacy booting.
I have disabled trusted platform module, disabled secure boot control, and enabled all port configurations. Using a USB attached Disk I can see and select the source and destination for a clone operation but on reboot the surface pro comes up in windows 8.1 not acronis.
