I did try Acronis today to clone old HDD to SSD from Crucial in WinPE and simply was stuck at detecting disk for 30 mins. Loaded up WinPE Strelec and used R-Drive to clone the drive which completed in 27 mins from HDD to SSD BX500.
Still using Macrium Reflect PE free version to image my computers. But Acronis is turning out to be more disappointing after every update. As a matter of fact I tried 2023 and 2024 version which all suffered same issues.

Good to know. Then it probably is a flawed version. I also went back to the former version. I have mailed Acronis about it, awaiting their reply.
 
I think this program doesn't work on SSD. I had a one-year license last year. When I tried to restore it, my computer gave me a blue screen error. I had to reinstall Windows. This year, thinking the issue might be on my end, I purchased it again and tried to restore it, but I got the blue screen error again. I never encountered such errors with the 2019-2020 versions. I can't restore the backup with the program.
