Cloning Windows 8 to a Vertex 4 SSD

Thread needs solution

I have a new HP DV7T and a Vertex 4 SSD they drive came with the Acronis software. I have the SSD in an enclosure and the program is able to see it. I have the option to clone the drive and make a bootable copy. My question is if I close this option will I still be able to boot from my main drive until I add the SSD to my laptop?

Yes. Make sure you don't boot the computer with the original and the source disk at the same time in the computer. Do the clone fromt he Acronis recovery CD. After the clone operation completes, disconnect the cloned drive. Reboot your PC.
When ready, take out the original disk, put the SSD there, reboot the computer.
