Please start a new thread for your issue - this is the second thread you've added this same question to, on top of the OP's original post.  Happy to help, but don't want to hijack the OPs original post.

*********

I am adding a comment for the purpose to capture this subject because I need to understand the cloning, copying and reinstalling Win 7 with all the patches.  I think my method of choice is to clone my PNY SSD CS1311 480 GB purchased from Best Buy to replace my OCZ Vertex 90GB SSD that is in the red zone with ~ 5.5GB left of space.  My goal is to use my new PNY SSD and avoid a crash.  It is my understanding that after a successful clone I have to remove the original SSD prior to rebooting my computer. 

I thought cloning would avoid the hassles of performing a complete reinstallation of Windows 7 and thus creating a operating mirror image of my computer system onto the new SSD.   If I cannot clone the ISO image then what advantage is there with AcronisTrue Image 2014 HD? 

Do I need to make a Acronis bootable media first then attempt the clone method?  

I have a ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 MOBO, i5 3570K CPU @ 3.4GHz with UEFI Software.  I thought I read that my AcronisTrue image 2014 HD does not work well with UEFI.  Is there an option to RAID the SSDs? or is that method imcompatible with SSDs?

I thank you for reading and commenting/recommending.

You should post your request in its own forum thread so as not to confuse the OPs original post.  It will get answered there, but it's just not good forum etiquetted to post your issue in another's post - even if they seem similar.

 

I recently purchased a PNY SSD CS1311 480 GB from Best Buy to replace my OCZ Vertex 90GB SSD that is in the red zone with ~ 5.5GB left of space.  I guess I don't really understand the SSD technology as much as I thought I did when I purchased the computer in December 2012.  I was recently bewildered to learn after purchasing a SSD in 2016 that I have old software i.e. AcronisTrue Image HD 2014.  I am already being urged to upgrade to the 2016 version to take full advantage of the new features.  This leads me to my question about the 2014 features and capabilities: I watched the instructional videos and noticed that the terminology used is "AcronisTrue Image HD 2014 copies the old drive to the new drive".  If AcronisTrue Image HD 2014 "copies" the contents i.e., the data to the new drive, then why do I need to use this software or upgrade to 2016?  If it only copies the data then why is the term "Clone" used in the description of the product?  I could copy my old SSD to my new SSD with windows explorer or via the command line, but it is my understanding that this methodology does not work properly because of the programs and applications are associated in the registry and do not perform as they did prior to copying.   I am not a System's Administrator expert, but I am a little better than the average home user. 

I noticed that my computer did not boot up initially because I thought I had to connect the new SSD into the old SATA SSD interface, but that was iincorrect; therefore, I returned each device (old SSD and DVD) back to their original SATA interfaces then my computer booted correctly.  Now I have my new SSD in the next available SATA interface.  My PNY SSD is not formatted because I want to clone it from my old SSD.  I have been researching for solutions for my dilemma.   My goal is to use my new PNY SSD whether it is cloned from my old SSD or Windows 7 is installed on to it.  I thought cloning would avoid the hassles of performing a complete reinstallation of Windows 7.  If I elect to reinstall Windows 7 then I won't have all the patches.  If I cannot clone the ISO image then what advantage is there with AcronisTrue Image 2014 HD? 

Do I need to make a Acronis bootable media first then attempt the clone method?  I have a ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 MOBO, i5 3570K CPU @ 3.4GHz with UEFI Software.  I thought I read that my AcronisTrue image 2014 HD does not work well with UEFI.  Is there an option to RAID the SSDs? or is that method imcompatible with SSDs?

Thank you for opening your own post and thread for this question about cloning your Windows 7 computer SSD.

Some points here:

1.  You definitely need to create the ATIH 2014 bootable Rescue Media to perform the cloning operation, as you need to prove first of all that you can boot using that media and see both of the drives that you want to clone between.

2.  The recommended position for the target drive to be cloned to is in the position that the original / source drive normally occupies - if you do the clone with the drives as you say you now have them, there is the possibility that the system will not boot from the new drive afterwards.

3.  Once you have performed the clone operation, then the old SSD drive must be removed / disconnected from the system before you attempt to boot from the new SSD drive.  Both drives will now have the same drive identifier / signature which will cause problems if both are connected together.

4.  If you just try to 'copy' the contents of your existing SSD to your new SSD using such as Windows Explorer you will not have a bootable drive as large numbers of critical Windows system files will be missing because these cannot be copied while the system is active.  Even doing this when booted from a boot CD would not work because there is more than just the files involved in making a bootable drive.  Acronis will copy hidden system partitions that hold Boot Configuration Data and Master Boot Records that enable the system to boot.

5.  You may need to upgrade if your ATIH 2014 bootable rescue media does not detect or cannot find your SSD drives - you may be able to create WinPE bootable rescue media but this in turn may need the Acronis 2014 Plus Pack to be installed IIRC.

6.  One alternative method that you could try, assuming that you have ATIH 2014 installed on your system, is to create a full / entire disk backup of the existing 90GB SSD drive to an external hard drive.  Boot from rescue media with the new 480GB SSD drive installed in place of the 90GB SSD and then restore the backup image directly to the new SSD - I would recommend not using the automatic resizing option, but rather keeping the existing partition sizes from the 90GB drive.  Once complete, you should be able to boot from the new drive whilst having the 90GB SSD as a safe backup outside of the computer system.  The partitions on the new 480GB SSD can then be resized as needed without touching the hidden System Reserved partition (normally 200MB) or any hidden diagnostics or recovery partitions.
