or to enlarge the existing partitions with special tools, such as Acronis Disk Director Suite.
As a rule, "as is" transfers are inexpedient, as they leave much unallocated space on the new
disk. Using the "as is" method, Acronis True Image Enterprise Server transfers unsupported

If you transfer data proportionally, each partition will be enlarged, according to the
proportion of the old and new disk capacities.
FAT16 partitions are enlarged less than others, as they have a 4GB size limit.
Depending on the selected combination, you will proceed to either the old disk partitioning
window, or the disk partition layout window (see below).

space are marked with different colors.
