KB 59877: Acronis True Image: how to distinguish between UEFI and Legacy BIOS boot modes of Acronis Bootable Media the new disk to which you clone, and from which you intend to boot the machine) in a bay, and not physically inside the laptop, the target hard disk will be unbootable after the cloning. As such, hard disk bays cannot be used for target disks. For example, if you have a target hard disk (i.e. If the new disk is inside the laptop, the boot settings will be automatically adjusted to boot from internal disk. Otherwise you will may not be able to boot from the new cloned drive, as Acronis True Image will apply a bootability fix to the new disk and adjust the boot settings of the target drive to boot from USB. It is recommended to put the new drive in the laptop first, and connect the old drive via USB. Note: the first section of the above KB document directs laptop users to KB 2931: How to clone a laptop hard drive - and has the following paragraph: Please see KB 56634: Acronis True Image: how to clone a disk - and review the step by step guide given there. Your option 2 should work and is the recommended method of doing this but if you do have BitLocker involved, that has to be disabled before using rescue media or else forget about using cloning here. Your option 1 doesn't work because cloning a laptop drive to an external drive does not set the correct BCD configuration due to changes in hardware detected for the drive adapter. Scott, welcome to these public User Forums. How can I clone my existing boot drive to the new SSD and successfully get it to boot without issues? Method 2 seems to be something to do with BitLocker (does that seem right?) I am not sure why method 1 didn't work, but found something on the Acronis website that said the destination drive needs to be installed in the laptop, and the source in external enclosure.
Result: BIOS couldn't find boot record.Ģ: created Acronis boot media, mounted the SATA SSD, that came installed in laptop, in the SATA enclosure, installed the NVMe SSD inside the laptop, booted to Acronis, got errors whilst cloning, and wouldn't boot from NVMe after ignoring errors.

Hoping someone here can help me successfully upgrade the SSD boot drive in my Inspiron 15 7570, as I'm running out of space.ġ: mounted the new SSD into the NVMe enclosure and used Acronis to clone the internal SSD, then swapped the drives over.
