My Dell Optiplex can't recognize its own SSD as a separate drive in the boot sequence. How can I clone my OS from my old boot drive to it now?

SATA mode for dell defaults to raid on.

You need to set it to AHCI for the drives to show in Clonezilla.

I see. Although I already fixed by refomating the drive clone to it with macrium reflect, I will keep this in mind next time.
