Cloned an SSD but it won't boot no more!!

By comparasion the partition sizes of the output between Gparted and diskpart, They match ie. sda1->sda6 are the same as partition 1->partition 6.
As mentioned above, there should be only one EFI System partition used to store the Boot code (BCD) to boot into Windows.

Partition 3 is the 260MB EFI System partition.
Partition 5 is your 202GB Windows OS. When boot into WinPE the drive letter changes from C to D and it does not matter.

Here's what we need to do:

1. Boot up WinPESE and run diskpart:
   diskpart
   select disk 0
   select par 1 ===> This is the first EFI System partition labeled as SONYSYS
   set id=EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7 ===> This will set partition 1 as a normal NTFS partition. This will not erase the content of the partition
   select par 3 ===> this is the 260MB EFI System partition
   format fs=NTFS quick ===> Format this partition
   assign letter=Z ===> assign letter Z to this partition to be used to rebuild the BCD on next step.
   exit
2. Again, from admin command prompt, we will rebuild the BCD code for the EFI System partition. Note that under WinPE, D: drive is your Windows OS. Type:
   bcdboot D:\Windows /s Z: /f UEFI ====> This will rebuild the BCD
   mountvol Z: /D ===> Remove letter Z: from EFI System partition. We no longer need
3. Reboot the PC. You should be able to boot into Windows. If not, that means there's something else is wrong with Windows OS itself.

NOTE: Each step above must run successfully. Watch for the spaces in between each command.

Did all that but with no luck.
On the set id command, that should make the partition 1 as NTFS, after that if I make list volume, the volume 0, that represents partition 1, it still says that is FAT32. Shouldn't be the opposite ?!
Also, why partiton 3 is formated as NTFS?! I've search internet and also on other computers that I have, all of them EFI is a FAT32. I even repeated all the steps, but instead of format partiton 3 as NTFS, I formated as FAT32 but even then it didn't made any difference.
I guess I'm going to install a fresh windows 10 and after the instalation going to try to restore only the main partiton of the current drive to the new instalation to see if it works.

Did you get any error message ?

none whatsoever during the all process. It formats ok the partiton, I go there and all, it's blank. Also the bdcboot copies everything fine into the partition, but it just doesn't work after the reboot.

@onesolo
I just update post #14

Ok, just formatted and installed windows 10 using the media creation tool. After that it boot it alright. Then I just used a Win10PE from the forum and restore the windows partition from a backup that I had used with Acronis TrueImage. All went fine after the restore of the partition.

Thkx again for trying to help me.

Shouldn't when cloning a drive, Windows boot into the cloned drive ?
