[coreie426]

I installed a ssd into my computer and cloned my hdd to it which had windows working just fine. But when i boot from ssd it says no operating system and boots from my windows 10 disk.

You didn't change the boot order in BIOS to boot from SSD?
Also, some cloning tools don't work that great for SSD, what did you use?

I changed it in bios to have priority over my hdd

Did you clone the entire drive, or just the Windows partition

the entire drive

If cloned the whole drive, did you marked as active too?
I am not familiar with Macrium, but looks like the boot sector is still on the HDD (and only there).

Have you dis-connected the original hard drive after the clone process? This may be all you need to do to get the new cloned SSD as the primary drive. You can only have one primary windows drive in your system.

no i probably didnt and do not know how or what that is

Dis-connect the old hard drive from your computer, remove / dis-connect the two cables leading to the old hard drive. One Sata power cable, one Sata data cable.

Then you missed some step.

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)
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
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 as necessary.
