Question Samsung M2 NVME SSD will NOT boot my Windows 10

[iamtryingtogetraidtowork]

I installed a fully cloned Samsung M2 NVME SSD including Windows 10 operating system ,into the M2 on my
MSI B450 TOMAHAWK AMD Socket AM4 Motherboard . It would not boot and gave number of options none of which would work.

I then took M2 out and put it into a good M2 USB enclosure I have and it boots from that USB enclosure fine. I do though want
to be able to install the M2 onto Motherboard and be able to Boot from that rather than USB enclosure.

Any ideas how I can get in to boot ?

Was this OS installed while the system was in a different PC?
That often/usually fails.

What is the specific motherboard in this system?

Was this SSD originally from another PC?

Windows cannot boot from a USB enclosure unless it is a TO-GO installation. Is this a TO-GO install?

USAFRet ,

1. This was a clone of the C drive from same computer.

2. MSI B450 TOMAHAWK AMD Socket AM4 Motherboard

What other drives are in this system?

What was the OS on before?

What were the specific steps you did with this clone operation?

NightHawk.

1. Nope was a clone on the same computer's C drive.

2. Dont know whether is a "TO GO" to be honest. I have a small Raid Sonic Enclosure for the M2 NVME which as I say I can Boot from,
but when I take the M2 out of enclosure and out it onto the Motherboard it wont Boot,

What other drives are in this system?

No other drives at all.

What was the OS on before?

I did have 2 x normal Samsung SSD's (SATA) set up as Raid 1

What were the specific steps you did with this clone operation?

I used EASEUS software to clone.

I have SATA now set as AHCI

I meant specific steps, not just what software.
It makes a difference.

And, what other drives?

If you return the system back to original configuration, does it work?
If so, please post a screencap of your Disk Management window.

Sorry I was a bit vague. Well I had the RAID 1 set up. I then at some point removed 1 of those SSD's (NOT M2)
and that meant I only had 1 Drive left in as RAID 1 (but at beginning showed as Critical when booting because it
missed the drive I had taken out). Then for some reason it did not show the "critical" message anymore on booting.
I then cloned from that single and only SSD onto my M2 NVME SSD which is in a USB enclosure . I then went
in to BIOS and changed SATA to "AHCI" from RAID . I then physically removed the single remaing RAID SSD
from the computer (I did NOT delete the array just physically removed the remaining SSD. I then
installed the M2 NVME SSD which is NOT in a Slot, but is the small rectangular . Then I rebooted and it
came up with a blue screen saying something was mising and giving me a few options. Tried several time
but no options would do anything. So I took M2 off the board, installed into the enclosure, into USB
and booted OK then from same M2 as wouldnt work when on the Board.

Thanks

Well, all of that would have been helpful up front.
And still not enough info.

Screencap of your Disk Management window, please.
