trouble restoring to new machine, destination drive not showing?
i'm trying to restore my acronis backup from an old laptop to my new laptop. new laptop is windows 11, old laptop is windows 10. i'm fine overwriting win 11 and then bringing it back up to win 11 after the restore process.
i installed the latest trial version of acronis on my new laptop and created recovery media.
after booting to a usb drive, with a usb external drive attached that holds my backup files, i can find the backup to restore and pick the partition i want to restore. when i use the "browse" button, i see a c: drive (the usb recovery drive), a d: drive (the external usb with the backups) and an x: drive (the main drive in the laptop).
then when i get to the screen to select the target, the partition destination screen, i see "Disk 1 NTFS C:" and "Disk 2 FAT32 D:" and that's it. no X: drive at all.
am i running down a dead end road here? i feel like i did this same thing for the last computer, but something def not working here.
i know the new computer has an M2 SSD, maybe that has something to do with it?
i can't figure out why the disk shows up in the browse dialog but not available as a target restore destination.
any help will be greatly appreciated.
