Overview
If your cloned SSD doesn’t boot, the issue is often related to boot partitions, BIOS settings, or cloning mode.

What You Need
⦁ Original drive + cloned drive

⦁ Access to your computer’s BIOS/UEFI

⦁ Cloning software (Acronis or standalone cloner)

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Confirm Boot Order
Enter BIOS (usually F2, DEL, or F12) and set the cloned SSD as the primary boot device.

2. Check Partition Structure
Ensure the EFI or system partition was cloned correctly.

3. Use the Correct Cloning Mode
NVMe-to-NVMe or SATA-to-SATA cloning is recommended.

4. Reconnect the Drive
Reseat the SSD or try another port.

Troubleshooting Notes
⦁ Drives larger or smaller than the original may require manual partition resizing.

⦁ Windows sometimes needs automatic startup repair after cloning.

Extra Tips
⦁ Always verify your clone by booting before wiping your old drive.

⦁ Update firmware before cloning to avoid conflicts.
