Trying to make a clone of my boot drive (currently in use). Trying to clone a 2TB Sandisk SSD to a 6 TB Toshiba HDD. Using Macrium Reflect Free, which used to work fine. Just want to do a quick clone in the event something goes wrong with a motherboard swap.
I formatted the HDD with a Quick Format in Win 10.
Edit:
I believe I found the problem. When I plugged in the HDD, in my motherboard BIOS it was in the boot list in the first priority slot. I disabled that, booted back into Windows. Now I can clone properly.

What Disk Management shows:
What I see in Macrium Reflect:
Source and destination disks:
Summary of what I assume it will do, Next is greyed out, so I click Finish.
After clicking Finish:
I am greeted with this message, which I never saw before:
Not too sure what this means. Not interested in creating a Restore or running in some Restore environment. Just want a cloned drive as the end result that can directly boot into Windows should I need it.
Any suggestions on how to just clone the SSD to the HDD?
