Windows 10: Windows 11 many problems after cloning on new disk

Hello,I have recently cloned the original hard drive of my notebook on a new disk. I removed the old hard disk, placed it in a USB adapter, physically installed the new one and then painfully failed to clone it with all the softwares. Only after 1 removing the read-only mode 2 accessing it from windows installed on a third hard disk to unlock the bitlocker protection 3 changed ownership back to me, I managed to clone it with a software, but acronis true image the software provided by the new hard disk manufacturer, for example, would still fail in the cloning process. I make this premi

New cloned disk shows up as old one in Win 10

I recently replaced my Crucial MX200 500GB SSD by cloning (Acronis) to a new Samsung 850 EVO 500GB. The Samsung migration software which came with the disk didn't seem to clone correctly because the Crucial ssd was slightly larger. Acronis worked fine.

My bios shows the correct new Samsung disk but on Win 10 the disk management still lists the old Crucial MX200. Although everything seems to be working fine, I would like for the system to acknowledge the correct disk.

Any ideas on what may be causing this? I have cloned disks before and they have always shown up correctly.

Thanks in advance.

wanna clone xp pro, have issues

so far, i wanna clone my main drive to a new HD. no matter if i do disk to disk, or if i load the backup file in a new xp home installation, after a while, all other designs beside the classic design seem to die away.
after 1 day it started to disappear sometimes,but reappeared until day 2, where suddenly, not the zune theme, but also the windows main theme werent useable, they even completly dissapeared from the designs list.
ethernet drivers seem also corrupted, couldnt achieve a connection over crossover, that now, back in the original professional, works again. let me say it. it died soon like a real human clone would, if its production material was too old.*Eek!

any suggestions guys?

thanks for your help!

 

Disk clone problem

Win 10 pro version 21H1 patched.

Preparatory to migrating to Win 11, I decided to clone my Win 10 boot to a spare Crucial BX500 480Gb SSD, one of a pair I have. Diskpart cleaned one but the other has a 100 Mb EFI partition that some of my disk tools see as E:/ while others just ignore. When installed, this disk shows up in the boot manager list and diskpart also thinks it's a boot disk.

I Macrium-cloned my boot drive, an M.2 chip in top position on the Mobo, to the clean SSD. I wasn't prepared for the nearly four hours it took (compared to half for Win 7 years ago). The clone SSD is now the only bootable drive on the machine. The M.2 shows up in the boot manager list but moving it to first position and trying to boot leads to the blue screen of recovery.

Can I get the M.2 back as a usable system drive? How?

Is there a tool that will remove E: from a now-useless 480G SSD?
