I am no expert in cloning hdd's, but I did notice the Seagate original hdd is 1TB, and your ssd is 500GB. I think you need to shrink the old partition down to the size usable on the new ssd.

Volunteering here is my therapy

I don't know what is HDD st1000GO. The specs of your machine is

 

               https://support.hp.com/ca-en/document/c05744547

 

It has 1 TB 5400 rpm SATA. You can't clone 1TB to 500GB, put full 1 litre of water to a cup which only has 0.5 litre capacity won't work. You have to tell the software you only need to clone 50% how please ask Acronis

 

Regards.

Mission Impossible!

You have to run a Backup of all partitions first.

Then exchange the drives and run a Recovery from an USB-Recovery-Disk.

During Recovery you have to determin the size of the Partitions.
