Cloning process stuck
Hello.
I bought WD SN850 1TB drive that came with Acronis software.
Now I'm trying to clone my old SSD, which is only 500MB to the new one, using the Acronis for WD version. But the problem is that it always gets stuck. After a brief message saying "locking drive c:" it's stuck in preparing for ever.
I left it the all the night and it didn't move an inch.
I tried contacting WD support, but they sent me here, and I don't seem to find a license number in that version of the app, so what can I do.
I attach a photo of the state of the process.
For reference, the old one is also an M2 drive, which I plugged in the second M2 slot, PCIE 3x only, and that I'm using as the current boot drive. The idea was to be replaced by the new one.
Anyone can help?

Hello Steve.
Thanks for the tips.
I actually was able to sort out my issues. By creating a Recovery Disk and starting the cloning process from there, it went without an itch. Could be better labeled though. It was a bit of guess work to determine that the clone process could be started from there.
As for that KB 2201, it's funny. Because I tried contacting Western Digital first and they were the one that sent me here.
Anyways, problem is solved now. Thanks a lot
