Jan - Peter, welcome to these User Forums.

Please see topic: [IMPORTANT] CLONING - How NOT to do this

What actual Acronis product and version are you using to attempt this clone operation?

How are you attempting to do this clone?

Have you made a full backup of your computer source drive to an external backup drive?

Hi Steve, 

I use the Clone option
and I will made a copy of a 500gb HDD

The HDD has 3 partitons.
the main C: partition with Win10 Pro64 is GPT
the partiton is displayed in Aconis complet full
and with a red point mark.
But only 10% is realy in use.

Both HDD are the same maker (WD) and 500GB

I have choose the automatic option.

I try Acronis True Image 2016 + 2017 + 2018

 

 

Jan - Peter, sorry to repeat the questions, but how exactly are you trying to do the clone?

You have an UEFI system as your C: partition is GPT, and therefore the recommendation here is to use the Acronis Rescue Media and boot this using the UEFI option for the device where the media is loaded, i.e. CD/DVD or USB stick.

Once again, please ensure that you make a full disk & partitions backup of your source drive before doing anything else - this is your safety net in case anything goes wrong in the process.  Unfortunately we see too many users who manage to get cloning wrong and destroy their systems in doing so!

If your 500GB HDD is configured for RAID in the SATA mode then Cloning will not work as this is not supported, nor for Dynamic drives either - you should use the Backup and Recovery alternative method to achieve the same result.
