[SOLVED] Converting Windows Hard Drive to SSD

[Westonian12141]

So I'll make this simple;

I've got a hard drive with a windows installation, and I'm trying to upgrade to an SSD. I cloned the hard drive to the SSD using Macrium Reflect, and when I try booting from the SSD it shows the windows logo for a moment like it's going to work, but then just stops on a black screen. What am I doing wrong?

Immediately after you clone I would power down and remove the HDD before I rebooted. Did you do this?

Edit: Also after you restart, go to BIOS and check to see first if the SSD is recognized and then to see it's at the top of the boot order.

After the clone, swap the new ssd to the port of the original HDD and remove the original hdd.
See if that helps.
What is the make/model of the ssd?
