Let’s have a look at this article on how to clone disk in Acronis True Image. I want to clone an active Windows 10 operating system directly to a new hard disk without stopping the system and restarting Windows. To clone a Windows computer, the source and target disks should have equal logical sector sizes. It is recommended that the old drive and new hard disk work in the same controller mode. Dynamic disks can’t be cloned. A restart is required to proceed. It will permit True Image to do the clone in a low-level mode to make sure all exact clones of the drive. Visit Acronis to get more information.
Before starting the cloning process, it is recommended to take a backup of your entire original disk as a safety precaution.
