Acronis Clone comment and user manual instructions
OK, I have the 500g deck of cards size backup drive. When I opened up my laptop the ssd in the computer is not only half the storage capacity but also the size of a postage stamp, so I can't use the directions in the user manual to clone this drive. The laptop does have a bay to put the large drive in with a SATA connector on a ribbon cable. So,I plugged the backup drive into the USB 3.0 port and started the clone software and the computer didn't recognize the backup drive so I opened device manager and more or less forced recognition and initialized the drive. Then back into clone and started the process. Oh, I also made a bootable USB stick and found out in the process that you cannot tell the bios to boot from USB first then the HD. Your only option is the HD. Anyway during the cloning process the clone software disappeared so no updates on the status of the back up. So, I let the computer sit and do its thing for a few hours then unplugged the backup drive and rebooted the computer. Next I will swap out the drives and see if it is winner winner chicken dinner or sorry charlie.
