• IronFly, I have been reading a lot of your posts and see that you regularly recommend Rufus software.
  Following a YouTube video I used Yumi software to create the the bootable USB stick and selected Clonezilla i686 version as Clonezilla list this as being more compatible to a wider range of laptops.
  All that said I did follow you instructions. I was very pleased that the laptop did attempt to bootup from the flash drive but then displayed 'SECURITY BOOT FAIL'.
  I re-entered the bios and disabled the Security Boot option. I am so pleased to report that I was then able to bootup from the USB flash drive into Clonezilla.
  I have not actually created the restore image yet, but do not expect any further issues.
  IronFly thank you ever so much for your help.
  Just so that I understand things more; using Yumi USB Boot Creation tool I was able to bootup from the USB stick in an older Acer (Windows 7 HE) laptop but not with new Acer laptop. Can you give me any details why that was ?
  But thank you very much.

  You welcome.
  I told you to use AMD64 version since most of the latest UEFI on Acer's laptops, are x64 compatible only.
  Add that some OS and tools have a compatible efi boot partition for x64 systems only.
