    Windows 10 Installed on Wrong Drive

    you can directly
    clone windows 10 hard drive to SSD    . To successfully clone windows 10 hard drive to SSD, you need to pay attention to the following things:

    1. before you start to clone, you need to take out extra hard drive. This can avoid your cloning windows 10 on the wrong drive.

    2. after you clone, you need to install your SSD on the location of HDD and change boot order via BIOS.

    I am not sure. But I think with a partition.

    Often, a quick fix using any partition or disk manager is all that is needed: the intended hard-drive or the appropriate boot partition needs to be marked Active; it's probably already set to Primary.

    cloning Windows 10

    If you're asking me, I'm simply saying, in my experience, the quick fix was to make sure the boot partition (for example, Windows 7's System Reserved) is marked Active. Or if no System Reserved partition exists, the partition containing the OS is marked Active.

    But it is marked as Active, but not Boot.

    Ahhh, ok, I'm in school, have no solution to offer at this time; I will listen in alongside you and let others with more experience and more wisdom than I offer their solutions.

    You need to redline and clone the whole disk so it clones all partitions and boot record just creating partition after it won't have the files or boot record

    I tried MiniTool. It copied all partions, but none was marked as Boot.

    Should I delete all partitions from the target drive first?

    Yes. This can be accomplished from within Macrium using "X Delete Existing partition" (see step 4 in the instructions at the first of 3 links above).
