Please see KB 56634: Acronis True Image: how to clone a disk - and review the step by step guide given there. If you had been able to clone from the internal drive to the new SSD, then there is a good chance that the new SSD would not have booted correctly because this is not the recommended method being used! The core issue here is that the Crucial product does not recognise your new SSD when it is not installed internally in your laptop (which is actually good news here!). See KB 2201: Support for OEM Versions of Acronis Products which applies to your OEM version of ATI from Crucial. Peter, welcome to these public User Forums. I restarted windows and tried to launch True Image again, but the same result.
Windows recognises drive G:, but launching Acronis True Image still results in the same error message. It's now drive G: and has 930GB free (there are two other partitions also, that came already on it?). Once I received that error, I followed the instructions provided by Crucial t o first manually initialise the SSD for windows.
True Image: Acronis True Image for Crucial (version unknown). Enclosure: Digitus F25490 NVMe PCIE USB3.1 HDD Enclosure M.2. The Continue button is disabled, and only a Cancel button remains. When True Image is launched, it takes a few seconds and then a small dialog displays: "This product edition requires at least one Crucial SSD be installed in your system ". My aim is to clone the 128GB drive to the new 1T drive, and then physically swap the two drives. The existing SSD (128GB not from Crucial) is the Windows C: and still installed in the laptop. The brand new SSD is connected to the laptop via USB 3.1 in an enclosure.
