Yes, I noticed the same, disk 1 in the D partition lacks "Boot, PageFile, Crash Dump" in the description, just "Basic Data Partition". Could it be because as I said earlier it is attached from an external USB and not acting as the boot OS? Or else, why did Macrium or Acronis not include the boot, pagefile and crash dump info in the partition when cloning? I set the cloning to automatic, should I try manual and play with options? Thanks
One or more of these links may be useful:

Disk 0 is missing the recovery partition. And the first partition is consuming 400 MB more than the default size.
After a clean install there are 4 default partitions (one is hidden).
The first partition will be system with size 100 MB.
When you try to boot from the target drive, do you replace the source with the target or you're trying to boot from the USB case?
I'll chime in for the heck of it and see where this goes.
1) Download Ventoy.
2) Format a blank USB thumb drive with Ventoy. It will not be apparent anything happpend, but rest assured there was.
3) Download Clonezilla (Not in any way shape or form related to Mozilla). Clonezilla download
4) Place the Clonezilla iso in the Ventoy formatted USB drive via copy/paste.
5) Boot the USB drive like you would to install Windows. Use the Ventoy menu that appears and launch Clonezilla.
6) Read this: Disk to disk clone
Lets try to rebuild the windows boot manager on the target disk
Open a CMD window as administrator and type:
diskpart
list disk (identify the target disk number n (should be 1))
select disk n (replace n with the disk number found above)
list part (identify the EFI partition number m (should be 2))
select part m (replace m with the partition number found above)
format fs=fat32 quick label=EFI
set id=c12a7328-f81f-11d2-ba4b-00a0c93ec93b
assign letter=w
exit
bcdboot D:\Windows /s W: /f UEFI
diskpart
select vol W
remove letter=W
exit
exit
Hi Megahertz, I followed your steps but there must be something wrong or missing, after trying to execute the command "format fs=fat32 quick label=EFI" the following message displays:"THERE IS NO VOLUME SELECTED, PLEASE SELECT A VOLUME AND TRY AGAIN"
I'm attaching below screenshots of Disk Management as well as of LIST DISK, LIST PART and LIST VOL for your review:
Why don't you check the disk 1 BCD for missing entries?
Whith a "Recovery Environment" it would have been very easy to check the bootability of the disk!
You did not read the Megahertz instruction carefully.
In your image partition 2 is selected, so no volume is selected as diskpart does not consider Reserved a volume.
Skip the list stuff and enter
select disk 1
select partition 1
as we know which disk to address and which partition as well.
