After installing and executing Acronis True Image software, the cloning stops with error after half an hour (my hard disk size is 1TB, 300GB in use).
It seems to be this situation:

This is my situation (italian Language):
La clonazione con Acronis True Image è solitamente un modo semplice e veloce per migrare i dati copiati da un’unità all'altra. Tuttavia, alcuni sistemi OEM hanno partizioni bloccate che non consentono la clonazione. Spesso, queste sono le partizioni di “Recupero” o “Ripristino” che si trovano alla fine di un disco. Poiché queste partizioni si trovano normalmente sull'ultima porzione dell’unità, la clonazione può bloccarsi all'80-95% causando un guasto generico. Se ciò accade è possibile provare un paio di opzioni per risolvere il problema.
La prima opzione consiste nel creare un supporto di ripristino avviabile Acronis, che può avviare il sistema al di fuori di Windows e consentire ad Acronis di clonare la partizione bloccata. Se questo non funziona, il passo successivo potrebbe essere la rimozione della partizione bloccata.
Consigliamo di fare riferimento al produttore del proprio sistema per le corrette istruzioni su come rimuovere le partizioni bloccate. Su alcuni sistemi sono installati programmi specifici del produttore, come “HP Recovery Manager”, che consentono di modificare o rimuovere in modo sicuro le partizioni di “Recupero” o “Ripristino”. Esistono anche strumenti di gestione delle partizioni di terze parti con cui è possibile rimuovere queste partizioni. Si noti che la rimozione di una qualsiasi partizione viene effettuata a proprio rischio e può comportare l’impossibilità di avviare l’unità originale."
I have created a bootable Acronis USB key, and started from there., but when launching cloning it says:
"Unable to lock the disk. Boot your computer from a Linux based bootable media and then try again"
but I don't have a Linux based bootable media.
What can I do with NO RISK?

Here is the translation of what happens:
"Cloning fails and stops almost at the end of the operation.
Cloning with Acronis True Image is usually a quick and easy way to migrate copied data from one drive to another. However, some OEM systems have locked partitions that do not allow cloning. Often, these are the “Recovery” or “Recovery” partitions found at the end of a disk. Since these partitions are normally located on the last portion of the drive, cloning can stop at 80-95% causing a general failure. If this happens you can try a couple of options to fix the problem.
The first option is to create Acronis bootable rescue media, which can boot the system outside of Windows and allow Acronis to clone the locked partition. If that doesn't work, the next step could be removing the locked partition.
We recommend that you refer to your system manufacturer for correct instructions on how to remove locked partitions. Some systems have manufacturer specific programs installed, such as "HP Recovery Manager", which allow you to safely change or remove "Recovery" or "Recovery" partitions. There are also third-party partition management tools with which you can remove these partitions. Note that removing any partition is done at your own risk and may make it impossible to boot the original drive."
I have already tryed to boot the system with an Acronis Bootable Rescue key, with same results.
Now should I proceed to remove my 😧 (Recovery) partition ?
Doing that, do I loose the possibility of recoverying the PC?
