UEFI Needed?

[Frankuro]

So I built a new Ryzen 7 build, And I put the OS on my SSD but the problem is it's 30GB so I'm already hurting so I wanted to clone it and move it to a spare 300GB HDD i have so I used Macrium and cloned it perfectly and then tried to boot off of it and it says no OS found so I went into bios and the SSD says it's Uefi and the HD says its not? 

Could this be why it's not finding OS? 

I have a Msi B350 Tomahawk with the Bios updated to date and I found an option saying Uefi+Legacy supported so Is the HDD legacy? I'm just so confused. I just want more C:) drive space.

You want to use uefi.

 

Don't use the 300gb hdd it will be very slow.

 

Just reinstall windows on the hdd if you wan tto use it.

Well yeah I plan on getting a M.2 525GB drive, but in the mean time I just need my computer to not fail, it only has 3-4GB left and I know there will be some issues if it dips too low. Windows 10 kept telling me there was an issue when it tried to install to the HDD, could that be why the cloned version wasn't booting?

The computer won't boot of the cloned HDD, 

And really? I thought it was faster than Sata 

Ohhh i'm thinking of NVME m.2 aren't I. 

And it is the Mx300 is there a Sata ssd that I can get for cheaper? Or bigger capacity?

just install windows on the hdd, don't clone it over.

If you want to clone it correctly use something like dd on linux.

 

Id just get the mx300 2.5/

They're the same price, is there any difference between the two, and Okay! I'll try to just install fresh windows on it.
