Hey guys I recently got a new SSD and I cloned my old SSD (entirely) onto this new SSD. However when I attempt to boot up from my new SSD it says "Improper boot media, insert proper media and reboot"

Can someone please help me as to how to fix this?

It's not uncommon for a clone to not go correctly, they have about a 85-90% success rate.

Try the clone again, and make sure you also are cloning the FULL drive including boot sectors. If the clone doesn't work a second time then you'll probably just want to go with a fresh install of Windows and port the data you want from the HDD over after.
