Issues after cloning drive

[SmilesRising]

Hello!

 

I’m trying to clone an old ssd to a new NVMe drive and I’m having issues. 
 

when I clone the drive with macrium reflect or AOMEI backupper I get the error you can see on the photos.

 

the old drive is an MBR and I’ve tried to change the new one to MBR and then clone but it didn’t work.

 

is there any way to make it work?

I have many important files and softwares on the old drive that I need to transfer.

Maybe it's not seeing the boot sector. That looks like the efi shell. First, change the boot order in the bios and see what happens.

Also, you could try this procedure to back up your windows partition to a WIM image, then restore it to a virtual disk. If it's Windows 10 or later, you should be able to boot it from a USB drive without issue.

Make a bootable USB with the tool in my signature. Boot the USB, go into image processing, then use the Path to WIM option to capture your windows partition.

You may have to assign a drive letter to your windows partition beforehand. This can be done with the mount option in disk management.

Use the WIM to VHDX option to deploy the captured image to a virtual hard disk. Add the virtual disk to the boot menu.

If your copy of windows works fine on the USB, use the boot creator to erase and convert your main drive to GPT.

Oof you're bios is confused where the efi is, you can attempt to manual boot by selecting boot file and see if you can boot that way.

 

Once done then do sfc /scannow it probably will fix it.

 

Otherwise use some rescue and repair bootloader.
