Windows 10: Why can’t I boot from SSD?

I am trying to move my OS to my SSD from my HDD. I have already made sure my SSD is initialized, and it is formatted to GPT. I have made a copy of my Windows 10 onto a USB from the windows creation tool and done the install process onto my SSD. At first my PC wasn’t showing my SSD as a boot option but it showed it in the drive section of my BIOS. Then I tried unplugging my HDD’s and tried booting up, but would not leave the BIOS as there were no boot options.

Unable to boot Windows after cloning it to SSD

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues while booting the PC after cloning Windows to new SSD. I would like to know what happens when you try to boot the PC to desktop using SSD?



The reason you are not able to boot the PC is that the files required to boot Windows are still recognizing the HDD as the main drive. I would suggest you to try rebuilding the BCD files and see if you are able to boot the PC using
SSD.



Kindly follow the steps below to rebuild the BCD.

1. Create a bootable media and boot the PC using the media.
2. On the Install Windows screen, select Next >
   Repair your computer.
3. On the System Recovery Options screen, select
   Troubleshoot> Advanced options > Command Prompt.
4. Now type in the commands and hit enter: BOOTREC /FIXMBR
   
   BOOTREC /FIXBOOT
   
   BOOTREC /scanos
   
   BOOTREC /rebuildbcd
5. Restart the PC.

If the issue persists, please get back to us with the results of the troubleshooting steps to assist you further.
