Black Screen when booting New drive

Thread needs solution

I'm sorry to post what is most likely a simple fix but, I have searched and not been able to find a solution.

I have a PC with a Sandisk ssd drive that apparently is failing. I purchased a new Samsung SSD drive to replace it. To restore here is what I did.

I inserted the bootable Acronis Loader USB. I switched out the drives.

I booted the computer and used acronis cloud to restore the drive including the system reserve and the MBR and made the windows partition larger. this is Windows 10 64 bit

I then used Acronis Universal restore to install new drivers which I had extracted from their exe files (I used 7 zip to extract the exe files into a folder and put the folders on a usb) these included the samsung ssd drivers and the intel management engine and chipset sata drivers.(I was getting an error at first but searched for the driver that was missing and added it)

when this was all done i rebooted and found the boot manager was missing (i think this turned out to be that the bios was booting one of my storage drives.

I placed the samsung in the first boot order slot and now it just goes to a black screen for ever, no cursor no windows splash screen nothing! 

I ran an Acronis system report and have attached it below.

Can anyone give me an idea of where to go I'm about to just reinstall windows and be done with it all

I'm on a phone so haven't checked your report. However I'd try a few things. First, you don't need to run universal restore here since the only thing changing is the drive and will still be using the same SATA drivers. 2nd, how you boot the recovery media makes a huge difference. If your original OS is UEFI and you boot legacy on your media it will convert the disk layout to legacy MBR so will be unbootable. Make sure to boot the media in the same manner and use your bios one time boot menu to pick legacy or UEFI to match. 3rd, after restore and before any OS boot, remove the original and put the new one in its place. You don't want to boot with both installed since they will appear to the bios as the same drive and can corrupt the boot loader as a result. 4th, if you still have this issue after doing all of these things, download  the image first so that it is already local. Then restore it. Some users have had better results this way.
