    Can't get SSD to boot


    I have a new UEFI computer with Win10pro on a 64GB eMMC. I added a 64GB SSD for my user files. That caused problems and the eMMC is pretty slow so I decided to replace the SSD with a 500GB SSD and boot off that. I copied the partitions across and merged the windows and user files into one partition. Everything went well except I can't boot. I set the SSD as the boot drive in UEFI and it seems to get the BCD off the SSD but loads the eMMC. I have to supply the old SSD on USB to be able to log in. I edited the BCD on the SSD and added an entry for the SSD as default. that would boot into a blank

  4. Can't get SSD to boot

    Unable to boot Windows after cloning it to SSD

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are facing issues while booting the PC after cloning Windows to new SSD. I would like to know what happens when you try to boot the PC to desktop using SSD?



    The reason you are not able to boot the PC is that the files required to boot Windows are still recognizing the HDD as the main drive. I would suggest you to try rebuilding the BCD files and see if you are able to boot the PC using
    SSD.



    Kindly follow the steps below to rebuild the BCD.



    1. Create a bootable media and boot the PC using the media.
    2. On the Install Windows screen, select Next >
      Repair your computer.
    3. On the System Recovery Options screen, select
      Troubleshoot
      > Advanced options > Command Prompt.
    4. Now type in the commands and hit enter: BOOTREC /FIXMBR

      BOOTREC /FIXBOOT


      BOOTREC /scanos

      BOOTREC /rebuildbcd
    5. Restart the PC.


    If the issue persists, please get back to us with the results of the troubleshooting steps to assist you further.
