Saving disk image
My Surface PRO 3 has a problem and MS is sending a new one. However I need to return this one first. I use Acronis True Image 2016. My Surface is currently working, but how can I "clone" an image of it to put on the new PC that I don't have yet?

Many thanks.
However, I'm not sure how to get my new system to fire up with Acronis. When I start up the only option is Windows.

Patt,
Surface Pro's require that you disable fastboot in the bios first. These instructions should help and there's an online video too:

Step 1: Shut down your Surface Pro
Step 2: Press and hold the volume-up button
Step 3: Press and release the power button while holding down the volume up button
Step 4: Release the volume up button when the Surface logo appears
Step 5: Select ‘Secure Boot Control’
Step 6: Select ‘Disable’
Step 7: Select ‘Exit Setup’, then ‘Yes’ to save and restart the device
