Windows 10: PC wont boot after clone

Hi,

So i cloned my hhd to ssd with EaseUS todo backup.
When i rebooted i changed the 1st boot option to my ssd and got this message : reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.
I went back to the bios and changed the settings back to how they were but i still get this message.
Anybody knows how i can fix this?


Build:
i7 4790k
samsung 850 evo ssd 250gb SATA 3
seagate 2tb sata 3
Msi z97 pc mate
kingston 16gb
windows 10 pro 64 bit

What happens if i change my hardware with windows 10 installed

ZigZag,

I tested disk cloning last night with ACRONIS on my home pc and Win 10 booted up just fine so am happy that if I upgrade to larger disk then windows wont cry out for prod key.

Again many thanks imk

 

Windows 10 SSD issues - Windows sees my WD Black hard drive as an SSD - wont defragment.

I cloned my Crucial 250 SSD to a WD Black 500 gig using Partition Commander 10.

This was a Windows 7 boot drive with plans to upgrade to Windows 10 after the cloning process.

Cloning Process went well using Partition Commander 10.

All was good in Windows 7 and I started the upgrade to Windows 10 which went well on the WD Black drive.

After all the updates and reboots, Windows defragment tool sees my WD Black drive as an SSD and wont defrag, there is no option for that drive.

I received the same results using Acronis 2015 as a cloning program.

HOW DO I CORRECT THIS?

(Another issue earlier was, after cloning from SSD to SSD, then upgrading Windows 10, the drive would "lock up", yet the OS was still working (almost no drive activity) yet keyboard and mouse was working.

 

I'm betting something got dorked up in the clone process which can happen if not done correctly. Check this link out....has some nice information on the "how to's" and "not to do's".
To Clone or Image That is the Question

As far as your problem.....you may try some 3rd party partition fixer. If that doesn't work....looks like a clean install may be necessary.

After cloning, it's good practice to only have your system disk connected and disconnect all other drives. This forces Windows to recognise the correct boot drive. Then you can shut down, reconnect the drives and restart. It's also recommended to image your OS and restore it to the new drive rather than cloning it - but you need somewhere to store your disk image. I've used Macrium Reflect Free to do this with no problems.
