No problems with cloning with the recommended software "Intel Data Migration" on my Windows 7 laptop (3years). For my recent win 8.1 - HP laptop everything is recognized, functionally the cloning process is initiated without complaint, but the actual cloning is simply not executed without comment after conducted by program restart. "Intel Data Migration" is a modified Intel SSD Acronis True Image version. The aktuelle2014er Acronis is new, but unfortunately Idie 14-day trial for cloning is not activated, so I still do not know, whether the Intel software for Win 8.1 simply is not up to date or just spinning my comp since.
