Disk cloned with true image just goes to recovery but will not boot, none of the fixes work so far

Thread needs solution

I cloned my pc to an ssd it completed fine but now swapped the drives over the ssd just keeps going to recovery mode and will not fix. it will not refresh, reload or anything. tried the rebuild bcd that fails, the walkthrough for that fails, fix mbr etc fails, chkdsk, SFC/SCANNOW, uefi to legacy and back etc all fail it will not do anything.

any further ideas or just start again with another program?

Sorry but more information is needed here?

What type of PC is this?  Is it a desktop / tower PC or is it a laptop / notebook PC?

How does your PC boot from the BIOS into Windows?
Run the command: msinfo32 in Windows and look for the BIOS mode value in the right panel of the report it produces.  Does this show UEFI or does it show Legacy (or a disk drive make)?

What version of Windows is being used?  Is this Windows 10?
