Windows 10: Reformatting drive to boot on newer system, now WindowsRE is missing

I wanted to use a new m.2 drive to boot on a new system. I cloned my current SATA SSD onto it and couldn't get the new system to recognize it as a boot drive.I did some reading and saw that I would need to reformat the drive from MBR to GPT for the new system to recognize it. I did that but now windowsRE is missing.C:\WINDOWS\system32>reagentc /infoWindows Recovery Environment Windows RE and system reset configurationInformation: Windows RE status: Disabled Windows RE location: Boot Configuration Data BCD identifier: 073a46bc-e395-11ea-a449-f5b6c65b901d Recovery imag

Recover or Reformat?

The reformat won't budge?

I did what you said and then was told to remove the CD from the CD-Rom Drive, put in the recovery CD and then press the 'OK' button to continue

So I changed to the next disk but the OK doesn't appear to be being 'pressed'. Yes I have pushed enter on the keyboard which is what I have been using to get me through the other steps..

Any suggestions?
