I'm trying to install a new SSD onto my computer, and I wanted to backup my windows so that I could boot from my SSD. I backed it up (clone feature) using Macrium Reflect (free edition). Windows is now on one of my SSD partitions. When I went into the UEFI BIOS Utility of my computer, it showed that the SSD was connected in a SATA information section, but it didn't appear in the boot priority section.
OS: Windows 10 OS Build 19041.630
Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING
BIOS Version/Date: American Megatrends Inc. 0809, 2018-06-22
SSD: WD Blue SATA SSD 2.5"
HDD: WD Blue PC HDD 3.5"
According to the EZ Update program on my computer, there are no updates.
Thank you.

. I cloned the C drive using the "copy dynamic volumes" onto the other disk, creating the partition J. I also switched from GPT to MBR to see if that worked, but it wasn't successful.
