I Simply want to clone one SSD connected via a USB 3.0 port to another SSD connected to another USB 3.0 port using Acronis 2019 cloning software.
I Simply want to clone one SSD connected via a USB 3.0 port to another SSD connected to another USB 3.0 port using Acronis 2019 cloning software.
Once all set up I get this message, "After operation completion, operating systems will not boot from the destination disk in bios."
So what does that mean, like what does the bios reference refer to?
Everything I read seems really complicated, using boot media and such.
Mostly I do not want to destroy the original disk from my note book computer. It uses an M.2 type SSD and I purchased another M.2 SSD and two M.2 USB 3.0 readers thinking this would be a simple clone from one to another.
I would greatly appreciate your help.

Wow, Thanks so much! This is kind of what I expected and it makes sense. I will go ahead with it now.

Only note of caution - make sure you pick the correct source and destination. If you clone the wrong drive onto the wrong drive, well, that could be bad :)
Best way to be sure when cloning, is give each volume a unique name (like: My Main OS C:\ and Grey External USB D:\ and Black External USB E:\)
Name them whatever you want, but just so that way you know 100% what drive you're picking as the source and the destination and can't ever confuse them.
