Clone a 1TB HD on a 500GB SSD
I have a PC DELL Precision 3620 with a 1TB HD (HGST 1TB 7K1000-1000). And a Win10 OEM preinstalled.
Now i want to switch to a SSD SAMSUNG 860EVO with 500GB.
The original HD is almost empty (the PC is new).
Is it possible to clone the original disk on the new SSD even if it is smaller ? What Acronis product can do this job ?
Thank You,

Thank You,
how can i generate the "Acronis Rescue Media" ?
To do a full Disk & partition Backup, and then Recover the backup image to the new SSD, i need Acronis True Image
or Disk Director ?

From within ATI you can create recovery media (either on USB stick or DVD/CD). Open ATI, select tools from the listing on the left side of the ATI app. This brings up the tools and you then select "rescue media builder" and select the "simple" option. When you run the rescue media, you need to do so either as Legacy or UEFI depending on the settings for your Dell PC. Looking as the specifications it appears to be a UEFI system.
To be on the safe side you should check to confirm if the Dell PC is using UEFI - I am not an expert of this but doing a search for "PC uses UEFI or BIOS" brings up several links that will help you work that out.
