Cloning two operating systems partitions to new second hard diskl
I have a dual boot (64bit and 32bit) Windows 10.The working hard disk is 500gb .I want to install a second hard disk of 1TB and install the two os partitions into it but retaining the old disk sans operating system.The forum is requested for a step by step guidance.I am going to use the neighborhood techie's service for fixing the disk only.

Partha, given your boot mode is Legacy, then you must ensure that the Acronis Rescue media is booted in the same Legacy mode when doing any recovery, as if you boot via UEFI, it will cause your MBR drive to be converted to GPT.

Partha, I would recommend still using an external drive for your backup and recovery especially as you are going to be changing drives and don't want to make any mistakes in the recovery process.
The first action of any disk recovery is to wipe the target drive you are restoring to, so you don't want to be storing your backup on that same drive unless you are going to be doing recovery of each partition individually, which is then more complicated. My own preference is to always go with the simplest solution where possible.
