Bought the 525GB SSD to upgrade the 120GB ssd that came in my Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e. Having never cloned a drive before I tried to plug the Crucial (destination) drive into my USB -> SATA adapter but running True Image resulted in errors and not cloning. After reading some guides I found that the destination drive must be installed in the computer, but with only one SATA port and no dvd drive I wasn't sure how to proceed, and none of the instructions take this situation into account. Fortunately I was able to troubleshoot the problem and came up with a solution that worked to clone my SSD. Step by step instructions: 1. With original drive still installed run Acronis True Image 2015 and create an Acronis USB Bootable Rescue Media. 2. Open laptop, discharge static, then remove existing sdd or hdd from device. 3. Discharge static then install new SSD. 4. Start computer and boot from Acronis USB. 5. Plug original drive into USB->SATA adapter and run the Acronis Drive Cloning Tool. The tool works on automatic, but made a 350gb recovery partition taking up the majority of the disc. 6. Once cloning is finished, load Windows and install Crucial Storage Executive and enable Momentum Cache on new ssd. 7. Go to Windows 10 Disk Management, right click the useless recovery partition, and either delete or shrink it. I deleted it since I'll be keeping my original ssd as a backup, and can use that for recovery. 8. In Disk Management right click the Windows partition, C:, and expand your windows partition to maximum size. That's it! Don't know why this isn't detailed by Crucial as I had to piece together the steps from different sources, but if you follow these instructions you should have a working upgraded drive!
