Let me address few things your laptops were working after recovery, it's probably not Acronis True Image 2014 causing the malfunction. I may be wrong on how Acronis modifies the destination drive, but I thought it created a GPT partition maybe to make bootable? I haven't had this occur on other desktop or laptops yet, but it has on the 2 Dell's I've recently done this on. I believe using Acronis will load a Boot Partition onto the destination HD's to make it bootable, and it seems like that is becoming 'corrupt' for lack of a better term. The BIOS on that machine sees a HD, but it's not booting. Laptop #2 was being used by a user for a week with no issues, until it just won't boot either. A reload on the exact same hardware (keeping SSD in laptop) seemed to fix it. He shut down, and the next day it would not boot up. The end user plugged into our network, authenticated into PC, and than proceeded to set up Outlook, and use it in the office. It didn't have any obvious damage or anything like that.

The first laptop was shipped to a different location using a FedEx laptop shipping box. I edited with a little more detail in the post above your last one. It worries me because I've now done this on a plethora of different desktops and laptops, and I don't want them to all of a sudden just not work. However, a week later, the same thing happened. The first PC, I had reloaded, and just figured it was a one off issue. The BIOS is in Legacy Mode, but I've tried to change to UEFI boot, and mapped boot paths, but I can't seem to get it working again.

BIOS still sees the hard drives, but you can't boot. The laptops are totally different models, but all of a sudden they just won't boot into Windows, or safe mode.

I've now had 2 laptops (different models) that I was able to clone to a SSD, but after a week or 2, they are no longer bootable. I've had good luck on most machines, but had a few specific Dell issues. The Source HD is always still in machine, and the destination HD (SSD) is attached via USB to SATA adapter. I boot into the Acronis program through a bootable USB and clone them in that way. I have used Acronis True Image 2014 to clone many different hard drives from traditional spinning disks to SSDs.
