Cloned HDD to SSD, now bootmanager not available

[thatsnicethat]

Laptop ACER Aspire E1-572; Windows 10.
Trying to upgrade drive in my kaptop, I have cloned the HDD to a new SSD using EaseUS. I have phisically replaced the drives, and on start-up I get bootmanager is missing. I have checked boot options and I can see the drive correctly, but still get the same message. Any other way to do this using recovery, re-install W10 or rebuilding BCD?

Thanks in advance.

Use a better cloning app. Try Macrium Reflect, The free version works well.

Can you show screenshot from Disk Management? (both drives present)

Both are visible, main one on C: Disc 0 and SSD on Disc 1 status Unassigned.

Sorry cannot see how to add a screenshot.

Won't be able to use this unless there is a free option.

Thanks.

in the quote you made was specifically mentioned a free version. There is supposed to be a free version of Macrium. Maybe they were referring to it's free 30 day trial.

You haven't cloned anything. Disco 1 is empty.

Cloning means - the second drive should become exact copy of the original. You can clearly see - they are different.

I deleted the data of the first clone I did with EaseUS - now cloning again with Macrium, that's why the disk was empty at the time of the screenshot.

Did you succeed with Macrium?

Working on it now, the cloning completed and this is what I have now in disk management.

I will swap the drives and post the results.

Cloning the drive with Macrium worked. Thank you all for the replies
