Clone - Doing nothing after restart
So I just got a brand new laptop and got a brand new Crucial MX100 I want to throw in it. I get through the Clone Wizard to where I click proceed and it asks to reboot. I click yes. It restarts and just boots up normally.
Any idea why it does nothing after the restart?

The Crucial MX100 shipped with the key for Acronis True Image Key. I do not have a physical copy of the program.
My laptop did not come with an optical drive.
Attached is a picture of both drives. (WD500 and Crucial MX100)
Not sure why that didn't attach. Here is the link.

You can create the rescue media on a flash drive http://www.acronis.com/r/support/en/kb/388/flash.html.

That link does not work.
Also this will make an image of windows 8 on the USB drive? From there I would just replace the HDD with the SSD and boot from the USB drive and do a fresh windows install?

Follow the prompts in the program to create the bootable ATI Rescue Media.
I suggest you read some to learn how ATI works:
Check out the many user guides and tutorials in the left margin of this forum, particularly Getting Started and Grover's True Image Guides which are illustrated with step-by-step screenshots.
In particular, 29618: Grover's new backup and restore guides http://forum.acronis.com/forum/29618
There's also a full on-line user manual, and a downloadable user manual.
Also, creating a full disk mode backup and then restoring it to the new drive would be much safer than cloning.

That will transfer everything from the HDD to SSD? Now the second issue I see is the program says the SSD is unallocated/unsupported?
This is getting to the point where it sounds a lot quicker to just use the windows recovery usb and do a fresh install on the SSD.
