Hello Leif,

No worries, I will help you to resolve the issue.

First of all - BIOS password issue is not related to Acronis Migrate Easy 7.0, the product does not deal with BIOS password at all, so I can suggest you to set it up from scratch.

Regarding wiped source HDD - it may happen due to specified settings. As you may know, you may set up to format source drive after cloning. I'd recommend you to check Chapter 3 of this User's Guide for the detailed information.

Also, please try to perform the operations using Acronis Bootable Media. To create it please follow: Tools -> Create bootable rescue media. Then boot your machine from it and you will be able to use Acronis True Image without booting any OS.
Acronis Bootable Rescue Media is a standalone version of Acronis Migrate Easy 7.0, burned onto a CD and based on a Linux operating system.

Additionally to this, you are welcome to ask me any other questions concerning Acronis, and I will assist you further.

Thank you.
