Yesterday i just randomly while broswing on youtube had a blue screen, and after that i get into Automatic repair and nothing is able to repair so i went into troubleshoot options where i have startup repair, cmd, startup settings, uninstall updates, system restore, system image recovery. I was able to boot into windows on my hdd, when i installed the ssd i forgot to uninstall old windows but its all bugged and i cant use many things but i can open recovery in settings and when i used reset the pc option and choose to clear ALL drives it didnt, still same after new windows installation on hdd. I cant acces to ssd on file broswer and i can see in partition manager that its there but not wiped i see that i has same free and used memory amount, i dont know is it broken or what and when i disconnect my hdd and boot onto ssd this is whats shown
Recovery

Your PC/Device needs to be repaired

The application or operating system couldn't be loaded becasuse a required file is missing or contains errors.
File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Error code: 0xc000000e
And than i can press enter to try again, nothing happens just same screen, same screen when i press f8 for startup settings and on f9 i can boot onto hdd and use my pc normally but without ssd on slow hdd.
Currently i have no idea how do i even know if my ssd is working properly and how come even windows didnt manage to wipe anything from that drive without even telling me or doing it.

Specific steps for a successful clone operation:

Verify the actual used space on the current drive is significantly below the size of the new SSD
Download and install Macrium Reflect (or Samsung Data Migration, if a Samsung SSD)
If you are cloning from a SATA drive to PCIe/NVMe, install the relevant driver for this new NVMe/PCIe drive.
Power off
Disconnect ALL drives except the current C and the new SSD
Power up
Run the Macrium Reflect (or Samsung Data Migration)
Select ALL the partitions on...

Assing drive letter H: to System reserved partition on HDD.
Execute from elevated command prompt
bcdboot C:\windows /s H:​
bootsect /nt60 H: /force​
(show screenshot of the result)

Now shutdown,
disconnect SSD
and try to boot into windows with only HDD connected.

Shutdown,
reconnect SSD,
check BIOS boot priority - HDD should be first,
boot into windows,
check Disk Management - System Reserved partition on HDD should be displayed as "System,Active,Primary Partition".

You should be able to clean SSD now.

Download and install Macrium Reflect (or Samsung Data Migration, if a Samsung SSD)
If you are cloning from a SATA drive to PCIe/NVMe, install the relevant driver for this new NVMe/PCIe drive.
Power off
Disconnect ALL drives except the current C and the new SSD
Power up
Run the Macrium Reflect (or Samsung Data Migration)
Select ALL the partitions on the existing C drive

If you are going from a smaller drive to a larger, by default, the target partition size will be the same as the Source. You probably don't want that
You can manipulate the size of the partitions on the target (larger)drive
Click on "Cloned Partition Properties", and you can specifiy the resulting partition size, to even include the whole thing

Click the 'Clone' button
Wait until it is done
When it finishes, power off
Disconnect ALL drives except for the new SSD
This is to allow the system to try to boot from ONLY the SSD
Swap the SATA cables around so that the new drive is connected to the same SATA port as the old drive
Power up, and verify the BIOS boot order
If good, continue the power up

It should boot from the new drive, just like the old drive.
Maybe reboot a time or two, just to make sure.

If it works, and it should, all is good.

Later, reconnect the old drive and wipe all partitions on it.
This will probably require the commandline diskpart function, and the clean command.

Ask questions if anything is unclear.

Yes.
Leave it alone until it completes.

Then, resist the temptation to look at the Target drive to "see if everything is there". Yes, people try to do this, resulting in screwing up the process.
Unless there is an error message, it IS.

Power off, disconnect the old drive, and allow the system to boot up from only the new drive.
