cant clone my software
Hello, just installed a new SSD and built a new computer. I used my HDD from my old computer and when i try to do the cloning now it says it will restart my computer. And i just boots like it normally does, and ends up in my normal boot. ?
Help

Mats, all cloning will be done outside of Windows when the Windows OS is being cloned. Even when you start the clone from within Windows the system has to be rebooted into a temporary Linux OS to do the clone. The problem with taking this approach is that Acronis has to modify the Windows boot loader configuration in order to create that temporary Linux OS environment and this doesn't always work on system with UEFI and Secure Boot BIOS.
The Acronis bootable Rescue Media can be created on CD/DVD or USB memory stick - a 1GB memory stick would be more than large enough.
The other difficulty with your request here is that you cannot just clone your old HDD to a SSD drive and expect that it will work on your new computer hardware. There are a lot more considerations to take into account before the SSD might be able to boot.
Do both your old and new computer systems have the ability to boot in the same boot loader way, i.e. both use Legacy/MBR or both UEFI?
Do both your old and new computer systems use the same disk controller, i.e. AHCI?
Do you have the device drivers needed by the new computer to be installed into the old OS you are migrating, including chipset and disk controller drivers.

Steve's points are all valid. Plus, what type of OS license do you have on the original system? If it's retail then it should license on the new system once the OS is cloned and Universal restore is run to generalize the drivers (assuming you've followed all of Steve's other notes). But, if you're trying to take an OEM license from your original computer and put it on another one, it won't activate properly as OEM licenses are typed to the motherboard of the original system it was installed on.
