I was referring to the acronis 2014 program disc. The only thing you have to do is boot from disk instead of OS . depending on your computer manufacturer can be F12,F10,esc from startup screen to access boot menu.
I recently transferred my Win 8.1 pro OS to smaller SSD with Acronis True Image 2014.. Place Acronis disk in computer and attach the SSD drive too , restart and boot from the cd, select True Image, Tools & Utilities menu at top, then select clone drive and take it from there.
