Clone "Successful", but Won't Boot
I'm trying to clone a 1TB optical hard drive to a 2TB ssd, and even though the clone completed successfully, I can't get the cloned drive to boot. Instead, it seems to be booting off of one of the recovery partitions. I've tried going into the bios and trying to boot off of any partitions that show up as UEFI bootable, but none of them work.
Secure boot is off in the bios so that's not the issue.
I tried with both True Image 2018, and the latest version of True Image for Crucial.
The original drive is operating with the bios in UEFI mode as shown in the system information window.
For the cloning, I had the SSD in the external USB enclosure, and the original hard drive in the laptop. I saw a comment in the docs that said that the destination drive needs to be in the laptop, with the original drive in the enclosure. However, I can't boot off of the original drive when it is in the USB enclosure, so I assume to do this I would need to create bootable media.
I tried creating bootable media (WinPE) usb drive, and it creates successfully, but when I load up the computer and boot off of the bootable media usb drive (in UEFI mode as the docs suggest), it just sits there with the manufacturer's logo and the spinning dots below indefinitely (for sure I let it run for over an hour but nothing happened).
What do I need to do to get this clone to work successfully?

They are both SATA interface. The USB drive is 8GB.
And yes, I've gone through that guide. It seems to me that Acronis True Image just doesn't work correctly with GPT partitioned disks.

It occurs to me that the boot settings in UEFI/BIOS may have got scrambled. My recollection is that with a GPT drive you have to select Windows Boot Manger as the boot device, rather than a specific drive letter. So, check to make sure the boot drive is correctly specified.
