trouble getting cloned SSD to boot
I created a bootable USB with Acronis true image on it (linux based)
I boot to the USB, select tools / Cloning
it sees both SSD drives, I select the 1TB as source and the 2TB as destination.
it takes around 15 mins to copy and tells me all is well, but when I try to boot to the new SSD it doesn't boot.
any suggestions?
thanks,
Daryl

Daryl, did you remove the 1TB SSD and replace it by the cloned 2TB SSD?
If you are trying to boot with the cloned 2TB SSD connected via USB then it will not work - this is a Microsoft limitation!

Yes, I removed the original 1TB drive.
Also, it was mentioned to use Win bootable instead of Unix. When I tried that it said something like "cannot lock drive"

Daryl, how is your new 2TB SSD connected to your system when you are trying to boot from it? It cannot be connected externally via USB but must be installed inside the computer in place of the original 1TB SSD.
