Cannot boot into standalone mode when cloning a surface pro 3 disk to USB attached drive

Thread needs solution

I am using Acronis True Image 2014 and trying to clone a new Surface Pro 3 system disk. After selecting the source and the destination drives, Acronis must reboot to clone the system disk. When the surface pro 3 reboots it comes backup in windows not in the Acronis stand alone utility. Is cloning for the Surface Pro 3 supported by True Image 2014 or 2015? I will upgrade if that will work but I don't want to upgrade unless it does.

Could it be that I do not have the correct UEFI/Bios settings? Can someone tell me what settings are required if they must be modified.

Thanks

Which version of Windows?
Best chance of success is to boot into the user created TI recovery CD and begin the clone from the CD.

If your boot normally uses UEFI, you may need to enable Legacy booting within the bios in order to boot into the CD.
If you do enable legacy mode, when finished, you will need to revert the legacy mode back to original before booting into normal Windows.

The Acornis clone instructions indicate to boot the target inside the computer and source elsewhere before performing the clone.

The other option you have is to perform a disk option backup and then use the CD to restore the backup onto the new disk.

I am on Windows 8.1. The surface Pro 3 uses WIndows 8.1 and only supports UEFI. There is not option in the BIOS to enable legacy booting.
I have disabled trusted platform module, disabled secure boot control, and enabled all port configurations. Using a USB attached Disk I can see and select the source and destination for a clone operation but on reboot the surface pro comes up in windows 8.1 not acronis.
