Copied SSD Will Not Boot
I have 2 SSD's, one of which I installed Windows 10 on. I copied everything from the Win10 SSD to the other one. It is an exact copy, all of the partitions are the same and everything. However, the other SSD will not boot. It always gives the message about inserting the boot drive. It does this no matter how/where the new SSD is plugged in. Having just the new one, or having both the old and new ones, no matter what, it will not boot from the new one. Booting from the old one works just fine though.
Is there a way to fix this? Since both the SSD's are exactly the same, I don't understand what could be going wrong.
It should be noted that there was another thread that described this problem, but all the answers involved a boot disk. I don't even have a disk drive, let alone a boot disk.
