Finally found out how & changed settings so it does, then booted into Acronis and started clone. Had a heck of a time because this UEFI doesn't support USB boot.
#Crucial clone to ssd how to#
See KB 60820: Acronis True Image 2018: how to create bootable media - and also KB 60091: Acronis True Image 2018: how Simple bootable media creation mode works - for more information in this area.
#Crucial clone to ssd drivers#
Some USB 3.x external drives may require additional device drivers on the rescue media in order for connected drives to be see in the rescue environment. If you still see similar problems, then you would need to create the bootable Acronis Rescue Media in order to perform an offline clone, and this requires that you test the boot media and confirm that you can see / select the external USB drive. The key point to make here is that the target drive should be clear of any OS in order to go smoothly within Windows. See KB 60870: Acronis True Image 2018: Active Cloning - for more information on cloning from within Windows. When shutting down, press & hold the shift key, so as to ensure you are doing a full shutdown, not going into a hybrid sleep state due to having Windows Fast Start enabled. I would suggest terminating the clone operation, if this is possible, else shutdown the computer and disconnect the target drive before attempting to restart Windows. George, your clone should not be taking as long as you are saying here (15 hours ++), so it doesn't sound like it is proceeding correctly! Many thanks for any help anyone can offer. How long should I wait? If this fails, can I then reboot into Acronis recovery, choose Clone, and start over on the same SSD drive or should I format it first?

While just researching this, I found the link here that suggests this be done using the Acronis recovery boot and not from within Windows 10. The drive light on the computer (Dell 7050 micro) and the light on the USB connection) are both blinking indicating there's still a transfer in progress (?). It's running from a USB 3 port using a USB 3 SATA to USB cable. There's only about 125GB on the 500GB drive. Message showed 'locking partition (?)' but no message since and no time slider showing progress - nothing shown from the Clone App showing it's running. I assume they're the same? The sequence to clone was the same as shown in their instructions: start the clone app choose automatic choose existing drive choose connected USB SSD click Proceed. I used my existing Acronis Clone utility rather than downloading the one they link to. Hi: I'm using Acronis 2018 to clone an existing 500GB drive to a 500GB SSD from Crucial.
