can't boot to cloned ssd drive - only USB drive
I think I have followed the correct procedure and "cloned" the 128 GB SSD that came with the Leveno Yoga 2 and created a bootable recovery to a USB drive, but after I clone the copy of the original 128 GB mSSD to a separate drive, replace the old mSSD with the new 480 GB SmSD, then boot up, it lets me boot to the USB drive with the recovery program on it and start Acronis, but I can't seem to get the old SmSD drive copied to the new SSD, reboot and have the computer find Windows on the new mSSD ? Using Windows 8.1 64 bit. Any ideas of what I am missing.

This is always a bit risky, cloning. If you make a backup there's no danger from backing up with the wrong source and target disks.
If trying to get image of current drive on new drive and use the new drive:
Install the new drive and then restore the backup to it. Reset your BIOS/UEFI from any changes you made to it to run the backup or restore process before trying to boot to the newly installed and restored disk.
If you just want a copy for safekeeping, then definitely do a backup and then you can store more than one (for safety's sake) and restore when needed per the above.
If you don't have a third drive and must clone to make a copy, then just be careful what you pick as source and target--don't go by drive letters --they might appear differently under the BootCD than under windows. Install the new drive and then make clone, then put in machine whatever drive you want to use and store the other.
