Cloned my Drive C to an SSD but it won't work

Go into the BIOS and see if you can manually assign the SSD as 1st boot device

Windows boot sector is on a different (hidden) partition of the hard drive and your clone probably hasn't copied it. Therefore it can't boot.

Use an external hard drive formatted first using NTFS then use the system image tool that comes with Windows to create a system image on that hard drive it's found in control panel under file history also make the recovery disk now remove your old hard drive completely insert the new hard drive with it off of course make sure that it's showing up in BIOS before you do anything if it's not showing up there's something wrong with your port or something wrong with your hard drive try running bios defaults again and see if the hard drive picks up if it doesn't I'd return the hard drive but if it finally picks up then you can insert your boot disk that you created and plug in your external hard drive run the boot disk to get to where it says restore a system image that I've created earlier and restore that system image to the SSD it should automatically name it C

Pxe is a feature of your built in LAN card and should be turned OFF in your BIOS. It allows a Diskless pc to connect via a lan cable to a server as a workstation amongst other things. And is nothing to do with the SSD issue. But it does point to the fact that you may have cleared/corrupted your CMOS settings so you may need to re-load defaults and then choose peformance setting in the bios. Your BOOT Device Order is all that you need to change and make the SSD 1st. That will then make it the C:\ drive. It has been labelled as an A:\ drive because it looks like its been duplicated from a USB stick and NOT a HDD. Ie the systemthinks its removable. Maybe you BOOTed a USB stick and thought your C: drive was in actual fact the USB. Remember a C: drive is only 1 partition on your HDD. If its say windows 7 you will probably have 3 partitions, the bootable one the C:, the recovery one(hidden usually doesn't have a drive letter), and maybe a backup one, which i guess you don't need to clone. Unfortunately on a USB stick the arrangement is different as it mirrors a CDrom which has TWO sessions, where session 1 is a FLOPPY DISK IMAGE ie A:\ and the 2nd session is your C: IMAGE. So i expect you just cloned a USB stick NOT your HDD.*** the CLUE when you CLONE something is the SIZE of the PARTITIONS you are CLONing.

Well you forgot the fact that WIN 10 copies parts of the hardware into it's OS for anti-piracy (same as ALL versions since XP) and as your SSD wasn't part of that it isn't recognised. As Pete L also said you didn't copy the MBR either as that is on a separate partition and configured for THAT partition.

You can basically start again from scratch and reinstall WIN 10 from scratch… IF you botherd to get an ISO version from the internet. A recovery is NOT possible you MUST install it as new.

It pays to do research BEFORE you go off half ******. This info has been around since WIN XP so probably longer than you have been alive.

If it is a true clone, it should work but you will have to plug the ssd into the same Sata port as your original drive unless you reassign it in your bios under boot priority.
