Must Reset PC after image restore

Thread needs solution

Bought Disk Director 12. Love it.
Had another brand of software to backup/restore (Image) but decided that Acronis had more to offer so got True Image 2015.

Every time I restore I have to reset the PC using the installation disk. (windows 8.1 home)
HP Envy 700-414

After going through the setup process again I use the other brand of software to restore the PC.
Tried TI from Windows, says it must restart to restore drive C (normal) boots, does the restore but can no longer boot up.
Same thing using the bootable USB flash drive Acronis created. Seems to restore but after that I have to reset the PC.

I have two other HDs with Windows 8.1 installed (done on this machine)
Unplug the existing HD and plug in another one. Won't boot. Either one.

Found it.
Well, this is a bit embarrassing.
Have to go to the Boot Menu after a restore.
