Secure Boot not working after creating a clone of Windows 10 drive

Thread needs solution

After performing the clone from my old Intel SSD to my new Crucial SSD and swapping the drives, I can no longer boot up my machine with Secure Boot enabled. I used the free Crucial/Acronis True Image software to do the clone.

Is there anything i can do to get secure boot enabled again? I did not think to disable secure boot, then take the image, but I'm wondering if that would have made the difference.

Wade, welcome to these User Forums.

Can you please clarify the situation here? 
Are you able to boot into Windows successfully from the cloned SSD and it is just Secure Boot that is not able to be enabled?

How exactly did you perform the clone from the Intel SSD to the Crucial SSD? 
Was this done from within Windows using the ATI application, or did you boot from the Acronis Rescue Media or Boot CD to do this in the offline application?

If you reinstall the original Intel SSD is all back to how it was before with Secure Boot working?

Please run the msinfo32 command in Windows and tell us what it shows for the BIOS mode from each SSD if you can do this?  For Secure Boot to be working the BIOS mode should show as being UEFI.
