My OS was on my ssd and like a retard when i cleaned my HDD i didn’t format it so this could be why this happened, so now when i launch my pc it makes me choose and option troubleshoot it or turn off my pc, my pc is still supposedly launching from my ssd according to my boot launcher menu in bios. I don’t understand how my os that was on my ssd is now somehow gone or corrupted is there a way to fix it in command prompt or something been looking online for hours and nothing pls help...

So, to go back to the beginning:

OS on the HDD
You cloned to a new drive (SSD), but not quite right.
And you left the original drive in there
Now, the boot order got borked up, and it booted from the old install on the HDD
Change/fix the boot order, and it again boots from the current OS on the SSD
Then, you wiped the HDD
And it fails to boot. Result of the improper clone operation early on.
Attempt to create a functioning boot partition on the SSD, it fails.


Sometimes, you just have to give up.
Especially coming from an improper clone operation of a year ago.

I would give up trying to "fix" this, and do a clean install on the SSD.

Yea that sounds like the best bet right about now...... does doing a clean install wipe windows off if it is still somehow on there? If so would i have to download windows again?
