OK, so I have ordered the 950 EVO so I can clone the original and stash it. I also invested in Acronis 2016. Can you give me some idea of how to clone the original C:\ drive without installing anything to it? Will the external boot version of Acronis allow this? Or do I install Acronis, clone the original drive, then so an F9 restore for a factory version?
Your help is welcomed and appreciated.

I just installed the Acronis on the original drive before I cloned it and left it there so if I need to pop it back in to clone again its ready to go. It leaves all the partitions intact so any clones will be the same as the original drive.
Another option if you are using a Samsung drive is the Samsung data migration but again, you have to install it on the original first.
