If you want to re-use your old C drive then it might be a good idea to do a backup.īoot with the same CD and this time select backup. It should show the C drive as fitting on the new drive and taking all the space except for a restore or recovery partition of about 100mb and possibly an EFI partition very tiny. The new drive should NOT have any unallocated space. Review everything before clicking PROCEED. destination is the new disk and you may need to delete any existing partitions on the new SSD. Acronis knows not to copy the swap, page and hibernation files but it is a waste of disk space and time to copy all the historical updates, error logs and browse history let alone the recycle bin and temp files.īurn a CD and select the universal and linux version of the universal not the windows or PE version.īoot the CD with the new SSD wherever you can attach it (usb adapter is best) and select the clone tool If good, then run disk cleanup and consider removing all but the latest restore points (system files). If you are cloning because the drive is defective the clone will fail I have that exact Acronis version and have cloned a lot of HD to SSD and have seen a few problem including one just two days ago.
