Maybe the clone failed, I would try to clone the drive again. Did you checked the SMART status on your old dirve before doing the clone?

I didn't check any of those but it worked many times, even after some total power off/power on. 

I didn't use my pc for 1 week because my adapter broke off. 

I presume nothing weird happened when i wasn't even using it.

Usually you have two options:

 

1. Windows is corrupted and needs to be reinstall

2. Your SSD failed

 

I would put the old drive in and boot on it, then check with the software Crystal Disk Info is the SMART status is ok (you could check both the HDD and SSD). 

 

Second, before doing the clone run the chkdsk /f command on the old hard drive (you'll need to reboot your PC).

I would remove the SSD and put the old drive in and check with the software Crystal Disk Info is the SMART status is ok (you could check both the HDD and SSD).

I did format the old drive, I now have downloaded Ubuntu onto the old hdd and the ssd also shows up in ubuntu, i think its either option 1 or option 1

Alright, so do a clean install of Windows 10 on the SSD.

You did nothing for week and now your PC don't want to start? Strange.

It may be SSD failure - not total failure, but some problem with keeping it alive when long time disconnected from power.

But that's just guessing.

It's quite common, when you clone a hard drive to an SSD. Have a look for repairing the Windows boot partition. That should unfuck it.

Quote me so I can reply back :)
