Most OEM systems (Dell, HP, etc) dont' have that feature, and not all custom boards do either.

You have a 960 EVO which is m.2 PCI NVME though - good drive.Īlso, some motherboard bios have Intel IRST drivers baked in - usually custom boards for home builders which can handle RAID sets at the firmware level and pass that onto the OS. You can get m.2 SATA drives which function just like a regular SATA drive, but have the m.2 form factor - those work just fine with the Acronis Linux recovery media in AHCI mode as well.
If it is set to use AHCI, the current Linux media should work fine for NVME PCIE drives. Glad to hear of the success and ease of use!įor the most part WinPE is only needed if the system uses RAID as the SATA mode in the bios.
(It seems a Win PE Recovery disk is not required, or perhaps I was just lucky!!). Anyway, I believe full image recovery is better than cloning (a personal opinion that others may differ with). I did not clone due to the new SSD being a 500GB disk and the cource disk was 512GB -I was concerned size difference (smaller) might have been an issue. Acronis TI 2017 recognised the previously set up backup schedules (as done on the old HDD) and immediately continued with Non-stop backup as it would have after booting the old HDD. Samsung Magician verifies the new SSD is fully functional with latest firmware and driver.Ĩ. Used the TI Recovery Disk (Linux) to recover the backed up full system image to the new NVME SSDĦ. I booted up my system from a freshly-made standard Acronis TI 2017 Recovery Disk (DVD).ĥ. I Used Acronis TI 2017 (Latest Purchased version) to make a full system backup (Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit) to an external USB 3.0 Hard Drive.Ĥ.
