Cloned SSD doesn't boot on Win10 Pro

Hi,

Running Windows 10 Pro, Version 2004 (OS BUild 19041.685)

I have bought a Samsun SSD and attempted to clone my HDD with operating system, to the new SSD using Macrium Reflect.
So far, been unsuccessful.



I have set the SSD as boot drive, legacy set in the BIOS, but doesn't boot, blue screen asking to repair OS.
I have have tried all sorts, disconnected the old HDD, used these cables on the new SSD.

I used the create boot disk in Macrium, clicking repair system/boot, but no effect. I don't have a windows disk.
Been at this for a week now and no luck.

I have updated my system info on my profile, let me know if you need any further information.

Have you tried running?:

Code:

bcdboot G:\Windows /s E: /f BIOS

No I haven't tried that specifically, will do now! Thanks!
I tried some variants of the commands from other posts I've read.

Hey NavyLCDR, this looks just like my situation, but the drive names I have are different. This is all new to me and I don't understand the command code. What would the code look like with these drives?


Thank you in advance!

Which drive are you trying to boot from?

The lower one: WDC SSD, MBR Disk 2.

bcdboot J:\Windows

You’re the best! That was such a simple fix! Thank you so much!!

If you look at your screenshot of disk management, you will see the second partition of disk 1 was marked as System inside the parenthesis. That indicates the partition the computer is booting from. Therefore, it was a simple fix because the computer was already booting from the correct disk and partition and we did not have to change that. We only had to change the partition the OS was going to load from.
