I cannot select destination disk

Thanks for the welcome, Sir. I have a 4tb drive I can format to GPT and try again. So do I just select the NTFS (Unlabeled) (C:) option when restoring?

Andre, when doing a disk recovery then you need to select the top 'Disk' option, which in turn will automatically select the required partitions on that disk drive.
Just selecting the NTFS (Unlabelled) (C:) option would not result in a bootable drive!
See KB 61632: Acronis True Image 2019: how to create bootable media
Also KB 61621: Acronis True Image 2019: How to restore your computer with WinPE-based or WinRE-based media
Please see forum topic: [How to] recover an entire disk backup - and in particular the attached PDF document which shows a step-by-step tutorial for doing this type of recovery / restore.

The recovery failed after 10 hours. I am new to all of this and I'm still trying to learn. "when doing a disk recovery then you need to select the top 'Disk' option, which in turn will automatically select the required partitions on that disk drive." "Just selecting the NTFS (Unlabelled) (C:) option would not result in a bootable drive!" So do I select all options? I'll try to look around at your suggestions. Never thought acronis would be such a pain. I can't boot with the acronis windows boot only linux - I don't know why.

Andre, if you select the individual options below the top 'Disk' select box, then you will be prompted to select the location and size of each partition option listed below that level - hence why just selecting the top Disk option is the best / recommended way to do this. This option does not prompt for the location and size of the listed partition, but handles these automatically for you.
The PDF guide I referenced above documents this process with screen images showing the steps.
