Recovered Backup to New SSD, Windows 10 Not Bootable
I backed up my C: (OS) drive (a 120GB Intel SSD) using Acronis TI 2019 (build 14690), and then recovered it to a different SSD (Samsung 850 Pro 128GB). The files and partitions were restored ok, but the drive is not recognised. It's a UEFI Windows 10 x64 build 1809 (all updates installed). If I replace the Intel SSD it is detected and boots fine. If I connect the Samsung, it can't detect the drive as bootable (not listed as a boot order option).
I've just updated to 17750 manually - for some stupid reason the auto-update feature isn't working (it just kept telling me it had all the latest updates installed).
I am doing this from within Windows. I could try using the Clone utility from bootable media, but what I'm testing here is the ability to store a backup of the PC's boot drive and recover to different media in case of drive failure. This is a feature that has worked since the earliest versions of Acronis, I'm at a loss as to why it wouldn't be working now.
