Windows 10: Recreate boot sector, Win 10

Win 10, Dell Optiplex PCI had a working version of Win 10 on an internal drive, but Windows Update screwed the boot sector up.I have installed a clean version of Win 10 on a secondary drive, and made it the boot drive.I have read that it will be possible to recreate the boot sector on the old boot drive, and would appreciate confirmation that it will work there are multiple data files on the drive.The method is this -Step 1: Delete old partitions and create new ones Boot into a partition manager. &n

Missing Boot Sector

Hello, I have gotten into some complications with my Windows 10 install with missing a boot sector after performing these steps:-

1. Cloned my Windows installation with Acronis True Image tool from my hard drive to my m.2 SSD

2. Deleted partitions and formatted the hard drive, to be used as storage

3. Result: Missing boot manager error

Is there a way to transplant a working boot sector in my m.2 SSD from either the hard drive or from a bootable USB stick without performing another format and OS install on the drive?

Help would be much appreciated, thank you so much.
