SSD Clone Won't Boot
HP Envy Desktop with Windows 10 Pro Cloned 1Tb HD to 1Tb SSD (SSD was connected via USB during cloning process). Cloning process appeared to complete normally. I then shut down the computer, removed the hd and replaced it with the SSD. On boot I get to repair screen (a required device isn't connected or can't be accessed). When I go into BIOS it sees the SSD and has it set as the first device. I've tried enabling / disabling UEFI / Legacy with no success. I know this question has been raised numerous times, but after reading the other threads I'm still lost. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I had the issue that when I cloned my old SSD onto my new SSD, the process completed successfully, but the new SSD would not successfully boot into Windows 10 - it would start showing the graphics for Windows 10, but would get stuck forever on the swirly graphic.
To make a long story short, https://kb.acronis.com/content/56634 held the missing step: after the PC shuts down on completion of the clone process, DISCONNECT THE OLD DRIVE! After I did this, the PC booted into Windows without a problem.
Now I have to find a way to connect and format my old SSD drive so I can use it for a scratch drive for Adobe programs.
Hope this helps somebody.
