My source disk is MBR
and my OS supports UEFI
The operation will not affect neither
partition layout nor bootability of
the disk: partition style will remain
MBR, the destination disk will be
bootable in BIOS. The destination partition will be
converted to GPT style that will make
the destination disk bootable in UEFI.
My source disk is GPT
and my OS supports UEFI
After operation completion, the
partition style will remain GPT, the
system will fail booting on BIOS,
because your operating system
cannot support booting from GPT
on BIOS. After operation completion, the
partition style will remain GPT, the
operating system will be bootable on
UEFI.
To ensure Windows bootability after recovery, you must recover an image of your source disk in the disk
mode.
3. The target volume type does not change when recovering over an existing volume. Examples:

When recovering a dynamic volume over a basic volume the target volume remains basic.

When recovering a dynamic striped volume over a dynamic spanned volume the target volume
remains spanned.
4. Recovering a basic volume or disk to the dynamic group:

When recovering a basic volume to an unallocated space of the dynamic group, the recovered
volume becomes dynamic.

When recovering a basic disk to a dynamic disk of a dynamic group consisting of two disks, the
recovered disk remains basic. The dynamic disk to which the recovery is performed becomes
"missing" and a spanned/striped dynamic volume on the second disk becomes "failed".
3.8 Backup protection dialog box
A backup file can be protected with a password. You can set password protection in backup options
while creating a backup.
If you try to recover data from a password-protected backup, mount it or append an incremental
backup to such a backup, the program will ask for the password in a special window, allowing access
only to authorized users. In this case, you must specify the correct password for the selected backup
file. Only then will you be able to proceed with the selected operation.
3.9 Arranging boot order in BIOS
BIOS has a built-in setup utility for initial computer configuration. To enter it, you have to press a
certain key combination (Del, F1, Ctrl+Alt+Esc, Ctrl+Esc, or some other, depending on your BIOS)
during the POST (power-on self test) sequence that starts immediately after you turn your computer
on. Usually the message with the required key combination is displayed during the startup test.
Pressing this combination takes you to the menu of the setup utility that is included in your BIOS.
The menu can differ in appearance, sets of items and their names, depending on the BIOS
manufacturer. The most widely known BIOS makers for PC motherboards are Award/Phoenix and
AMI. Moreover, while items in the standard setup menu are mostly the same for various BIOSes,
items of the extended (or advanced) setup heavily depend on the computer and BIOS version.
