old PC boot from Backup media and clone HDD to SSD

Thread needs solution

An old PC has HDD 150GB and plan to clone this in a SSD 240GB... RAM of this is 4GB DDR2

processor : intel core 2 quad-core, Windows 7

 

Is this OK

?

Connect SATA internally the SSD [SSD has two partitions - was in a PC and removed]

[alternatively and more slowly is to use usb to sata cable - clone externally after put it internally - I will prefer the fast solution connect SSD internally is ok ... ?]

Boot from Acronis CDROM Cloning/backup Media DVD

and clone the HDD to SSD... The data in SSD will get deleted Automatically.... and become one partition.

Choose shut down PC upon Finished the cloning procedure.. . (exist that option , isn't it?)

Then when finish disconnect HDD and leave only SSD... In this case The SATA cable of HDD must connect it to SSD... to avoid boot problems ... correct???? is this scenario steps all are OK... ????

 

any comment from you .... ????

Lse, does your old PC have ATI 2018 installed on it?

If it does, then you could use the Active Clone method from within Windows using ATI 2018 with the SSD connected internally in the computer.

If using this method, then I would recommend deleting the partitions on the SSD yourself first using Windows Disk Management as this will prevent Active Clone from wanting to restart the computer to do the actual clone process (assuming there was an old Windows OS on the SSD).
