New Install
<Just got a new WD Hard Drive with ATIH 2013hd that came with it, what do I actually have. Seems like a lot of things cant be used w/o an upgrade. I just want to backup the existing Hitachi HD to the new WD. I will be doing a new Win 10 clean install soon to my OCZ SSD (C) and plan to backup the new OS using Acronis to my new WD. Can I backup both the Hatachi that only has all my Files like My documents, My Pictures etc etc, to a separate partition like "G" the drive which it is now and the New win 10 "C" to a separate backup. I usually keep all my files off my "C" drive on the Hitachi. My objective is to have both the OS "C" on the WD, the "G" which is in a bay in the PC on the WD using Acronis to transfer both. The WD which will be"R" since the bad drive it is replacing is "R" which is in a Ext case with its own power switch so it is off most of the time. For clarification I will have 2 backups "G" & "R". The "G" drive will not have the OS>

Joe,
Another recommendation...download the user document for ATI2013 and if you decide to upgrade to ATI2016, download the user document for it. Good information in both.

Thank You for your input. That is what I thought about the what it will do. I follow The Computer Geeks Newsletter and they started some time before the Win 10 release of providing practically step by step info on many if not all aspects of Win10 & how to use it, much good info that I have saved to my own Win 10 File. Looks like if Acronis is to be of any use I will need to upgrade to 15 or 16 as I don't like to have to backup everything all the time, only what is needed or new to a Drive.
