On the Clone Mode step choose whether to use Automatic or Manual transfer mode.On the sidebar, click Tools, and then click Clone disk.Disks encrypted with BitLocker need to be in an unlocked state for cloning. Disk cloning of such a disk will fail if the cloning tool requests a computer reboot, as Acronis bootable environment cannot read Bitlocker-encrypted disks.Otherwise, your computer might not start from the new hard drive.

It is recommended that your old and new hard drives work in the same controller mode (for example, IDE or AHCI).Source and target disks must have equal logical sector size.Before cloning, it is recommended to create a backup of the entire original disk as a safety precaution.
