might want to format the old disk or securely wipe the data it contains. Use Windows tools or
Acronis DriveCleanser for these tasks.
Nevertheless, we do not recommend that you delete data from the old disk until you are sure it is
correctly transferred to the new disk, the computer boots up from it and all applications work.
20.3 Executing transfers
For best results, install the target (new) drive where you plan to use it and the source drive in
another location, e.g. in an external USB enclosure. This recommendation is especially important for
laptops.
To start cloning, select Tools & Utilities → Clone disk in the main program menu.
20.3.1 Selecting Clone mode
You will see the Clone Mode window.
We recommend using automatic mode in most cases. The manual mode can be useful if you need to
change the disk partition layout.
If the program finds two disks, one partitioned and another unpartitioned, it will automatically
recognize the partitioned disk as the source disk and the unpartitioned disk as the destination disk. In
such case, the next steps will be bypassed and you will be taken to the cloning Summary screen.
