I'm trying to upgrade my c: drive SSD with windows to a larger device in my desktop PC.
Steps taken:
Install new drive
Use Macrium to make a clone, extending partitions to full disk size
Shut down the PC, disconnect the old drive and reboot
> At this point it hangs, saying "loading operating system"
I reformatted the new drive and tried cloning again, same issue
I reconnected both drives and can see the cloned drive as e:
I have gone to BIOS and can see both drives, if I select the new drive as a boot drive, it still won't load the operating system.
So I think there is something wrong with the cloning process. I have followed all the defaults and steps that multiple people have used on youtube.
This is what Macrium shows:

This is what disk management shows

I'm wondering of the clone has not worked correctly, because there is no windows symbol on all partitions.
I'd rather not reinstall windows from scratch if possible.
