Windows not booting into a new NVMe with cloned Windows 10 | Linus Tech Tips | Page 1

So i just got a new Team MP33 NVMe, and it's normal. It's detected in Disk Management, so I initialized it and make a simple volume in there. I used Macrium to clone the entire SSD and OS (Win 10, Kingston 120GB SATA SSD), and cloning went fine. When I wanted to boot with it, it always switched to the SSD instead of the NVMe (after prioritizing the NVMe in the boot option), so I remove the other boot options so that the PC will only try to boot from the NVMe. Then, I got the error that said "Reboot and Select a proper boot device". After searching the Internet, I got 2 candidates, which are Disable CSM and Reformat+repartition with CMD. Disabling CSM didn't work, PC will go straight into BIOS when starting. So i tried Reformatting and repartitioning, and it works, but now it's stuck on spinning dots when booting into Windows. Any help?

rich basalt alright then

your NVME partition could be the wrong type

#

which kind of wrong? it's NTFS and basic (not dynamic)

#

Im not a partition guy so what I would do in this situation is just reimage

#

save fuss and worry about your settings later on

rich basalt but i did used GPT instead of MBR, but i don't think it does anything

GPT is the only partition supported by windows installation so credit where is due

Oop so turns out it was MBR (even though I already initialized it as GPT). But it doesn't fix anything after I changed it into GPT. 😦

There is a similar issue on linustechtips.com we are working on: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1482321-windows-11-installation-helperror
Have you loaded some drivers while install to get the drive recognized by windows?

Windows 11 Installation Help/Error

Hello Everyone, I recently put together a computer and am unable to get Windows 11 on it, I am always receiving an error message that there is a driver missing. Checked the FAQ and motherboard manual and it said it was the pre-install RAID drivers. Downloaded those, extracted, and received the sa...

Nope. The drive did get recognize instantly in the Drive Management

#

But now it's solved, although I'm not fully satisfied

#

I had to fresh install Win 10 here

#

That means I had to reinstall drivers and some crucial apps

#

Which is very tiring

#

Aaaaaand now I can't boot from my SSD

#

Oh wait I can

#

Ahhh oh god
