Windows 10: Migrated os to new ssd and it won't boot properly

I recently got a new m.2 ssd because I previously had windows installed on a hard drive which was rather slow. I didn't want to do a fresh install so I cleared up space and cloned the drive onto the SSD. Now when I try to boot up windows without the old hard drive connected, it blue screens and says something along the lines of missing the system32 file which i know it has. Am I missing some step of the process?

how to migrate only the OS to a new SSD

to migrate os to SSD, you need a third-party tool. I recommend you AOMEI Partition Assistant. It offers you a feature called Migrate OS to SSD,
which can help you transfer your os without effort.

before you start, you need to make sure the system partition on the old hard drive is smaller than or equal to 120GB. Also, you need to download AOMEI Partition Assistant.

then, see below.

1. launch AOMEI Partition Assistant

2. click Migrate os to SSD at the left panel

3. in the new window, click Next

4. select an unallocated space or a partition on your SSD

5. modify the information of your boot partition, including drive letter, size and position. then, click Next and Finish to back to the main page.

6. click Apply at the top left corner and Proceed to start the pending operation. then, just wait.

put my product key of the os of the old hdd in this new ssd. Is it true? Because i can't find this.
