Stuck in Acronis boot - didn't follow instructions
Hello...I was attempting to install a new Western Digital Hard drive into a ASUS laptop. I downloaded the free version from WD.com. I failed to follow the instructions and create a rescue disk first and then install the new hard drive into the laptop before performing the clone.
I started to clone the internal (original) hard drive to the external one (new) on USB. I encountered bad sectors and wanted to cancel the close so I could run a full check disk on the system. The Operating System is Windows 10. So I cancelled the operation and the laptop is in a reboot loop back to Acronis and it attempts to restart the cloning process to USB. How do I get back to the normal boot process into Windows 10 on the laptop with the original hard drive installed?
Thanks!

If you can download the recovery .iso from WD, or create it on another machine and then boot it, most likely, after you boot it, if you then close out and pull the recovery media, most likely, it will boot normal again. The alternative (in my experience), is to boot Windows installation media and peform a "startup repair".
