Hey guys, I cloned my primary hdd information to my new sandisk 120gb ssd. I am a first timer at this, so when I go into my bios II i switch from my hdd to ssd but when my ssd tried to boot up i get the message " Missing Bootmgr" also I do not have the Windows 10 disc or download. Any advice would help

1. What tool did you use to clone this?
2. How, exactly, did you do this?

It seems you left off the boot partition during this operation.

I suggest redoing it from the beginning.

Power off, disconnect the new SSD.
Verify it still boots properly from the old drive.
Install Macrium Reflect
Power off, and connect the new SSD
Run the Macrium application, ensuring you have ALL partitions on the source drive connected.
Clone
When it is done...
Power off
Disconnect the old drive
Connect the SSD in the same SATA port as the old drive
Power up, and verify the boot order.

Hopefully, it will boot properly from the SSD, without the old one connected.
Maybe reboot a couple of times to verify

Later, reconnect the old drive and wipe...
