After the restore Acronis switched the order to MSR, EFI System, Windows, Recovery. My original partition order was the EFI System, MSR, Windows, and then Windows Recovery. Question 1 and 3 in my original post are known issues with Acronis backing one disk and restoring to a different disk with UEFI/GPT based partitions. I think that they could save everyone, their customers and themselves, some time if they didn't make unnecessary changes to the partitions after restore. Trust me, there used to be a time when I, too, was puzzled by it, until somewhere on the Acronis forum I came across a post from one of their staff members explaining they find the integrity of the actual data stored on the partitions within the image a whole lot more important than partition changes, when these partition changes do not stop Windows from working like normal.This was my first time using Acronis to copy a disk and reimage into onto another. Like I said in my first reply, Acronis knows how to keep partitions working like normal in all components of Windows, even if what it does seems 'odd'.
