Transfering Entire System to a Larger Harddrive
My primary hard drive has become too small and I need to transfer my entire system to a larger hard drive.
Using Acronis True Image 2013 and would appreciate commentary about the best way to do this using True Image.
Thank you
Bill

Referring to 2931: Cloning Laptop Hard Disk (http://kb.acronis.com/content/2931)
"(!) The important point to remember is that you need to put the new drive in the laptop first, and connect the old drive via USB. Only after this you may do the cloning."
Question: If I remove the existing 500GB HDD which has windows 8 and my files, and put in the new 1TB HDD in its place, how do I boot my computer ? The new 1TB HDD does not have any OS on it. My laptop does not have any CD drive.

1. You won't be cloning. I've advised you to create a backup and then restore it.
2. As I wrote: Boot from the ATI 2013 bootable Rescue Media.

The bootable rescue media can be installed on a USB stick. Either by having a dedicated USB stick or if you prefer making an ISO of the recovery environment and then using a used USB stick with a Grub bootloader installed.
