Ideas, all? I can't find any option in Acronis to address getting the OS onto the new disk and have the new disk as GPT.

Reformat the new drive as GPT first.

It is Sunday night now, are you still sitting there working on this since Friday night? I’ll have to admit that I’ve been there, done that.

Have you tried first turning it off, and then turning it back on again?

That always works for my automatic coffee-maker!

I wouldn’t pollute a new NVME with an older SSD. No room for both in the chassis?

Sorry, “ALL”. Put my head down and crashed like a Biden plan to say something sensible, before I got any replies. Will go through these replies...

“Reformat the new drive as GPT first.”

That would be my recommendation.

Ok, really dumb question here — a “Simple Volume” can have multiple partitions?

[Colo9250]

Hold on there, is the new 500gb going to be your boot drive? If so you need the MBR because that stands for “Master Boot Record”. Without the MBR your system will fail to start.

If this is NOT your boot drive then go with GPT.

I have a Lenovo Desktop that has the M.2 (1tb) as drive 0 and the system boots from there and contains all of Win 11. My second drive is also 1tb and is a SSD that is drive 1 for data only.

Hope this helps.
