Black screen after disk cloning from HDD to SSD

[pwelch]

I receive a black screen after the windows logo from my ssd.

Because of my old HDD showing "caution" on crystaldiskinfo i decided to clone that drive to a new ssd. The cloning process was fine, I shutdown the pc after it was done, unplugged my old 1tb HDD and plugged in a different 1tb HDD along with my ssd. I went into the bios to see the boot order saw the ssd but no hdd. Exited to windows and i am met with the windows 10 logo + spinning dots below that, and then after 4 seconds that goes away and a different screen appears with just the spinning dots and soon that disappears and i am left with my cursor in a dark abyss.
I used Macrium reflect free disk cloning software
Sandisk 240gb ssd
Old Toshiba 1tb
WD blue 1tb

Your primary boot device should be Windows Boot Manager. The post is a little confusing, did you clone the OS drive to an SSD or did you clone the HDD to another HDD using Macrium? If the latter, what prevented you from copying over the HDD's contents via USB over to another HDD?

Is this a desktop or a laptop?

In the bios in the boot section it says 1st boot is the ssd

I cloned the old 1tb hard drive(only had 73GB on it when i cloned it) with the OS to the 240gb ssd using macrium, and then i added a different 1tb harddrive for mass storage.

I have tried booting in safe mode + safe mode with networking + low resolution video but it always goes to a black screen. I do have the original windows CD.

I did clone a preview version of windows 10 through windows insider preview if that changes anything.

Desktop:
i5 2500k @3.8ghz
8gb ram
Evga Gtx 670
msi z77a-g45 motherboard

Edit: Youtube comment i found that might help: "There is a BIG chance that folks will NOT be able to boot from their 'new' harddisk with a cloned Windows on it. This is because every harddisk has a Disk ID (or Disk Signature). When you clone your Windows onto a new harddisk, that Windows (the MBR ánd the registry) still contains the Disk ID of the OLD harddisk.

The Windows on your new disk will be looking for your old disk."

After another day of messing with this and coming to the conclusion that it is a phantom screen problem, I can now spam shift and have sticky keys come up, but it soon disappears. Might just reinstall.

Edit: I have found the solution to this problem from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3za5fsfYftQ
But i have run into another problem, after i type in my password i am met with a black screen, and a cursor, i can bring up task manager and launch programs through it like google chrome, but it seems explorer.exe is not working
