\nWhat is Acronis and why is it important to download? Acronis is a piece of software that offers drive cloning (creating an exact copy of your data on another drive) as well as providing ransomware protection. It\u2019s free for a year for all users with Kingston SSDs. You can extend your subscription or upgrade with advanced features such as antivirus protection, as well as up to 5TB of cloud backup storage, with a 20% discount exclusively for Kingston customers.

\nOnce you\u2019re in, under Tools select Clone Disk and the Clone Disk wizard will appear to guide you through the process. Select Automatic and click Next to continue. You\u2019ll be asked to choose the source disk (or the disk you want to clone data FROM). Double check you\u2019ve chosen the right disk, since selecting the wrong disk could totally erase your drive. When you are certain you\u2019ve chosen the correct Source Disk (e.g. the current\/old drive) click Next. You\u2019ll be asked to choose the Destination Disk, which will be your new Kingston SSD. If your destination disk already has data on it, you\u2019ll get a warning asking if you\u2019re sure you\u2019d like to proceed. Double and triple check that the Source and Destination disks are correctly chosen. Once chosen, proceed to choose your cloning method and if you are replacing the current drive with your new drive, you can choose \u201cTo replace a disk on this machine\u201d and click Next. You\u2019ll see a summary screen showing the new partition structure of the SSD, which will automatically scale based on your new SSD size in relation to your older drive. Select Proceed, and you\u2019ll be asked to restart your computer to complete the cloning process.<\/p>\n
