9. On the Finish step, ensure that the configured settings suit your needs, and then click Proceed.
If the cloning operation is stopped for some reason, you will have to configure and start the
procedure again. You will not lose your data, because Acronis True Image does not alter the original
disk and data stored on it during cloning.
By default, Acronis True Image 2021 shuts down the computer after the clone process finishes. This
enables you to change the position of master/subordinate jumpers and remove one of the hard
drives.
