don't clone, especially to different sized drives

depening on software/methid it will be 1;1 in terms of partions or it will just copy all the files and the basic partion info look like you did second option

How are you trying to boot to it? I assume from BIOS as there likely isn't a EFI entry for the cloned drive...

Expand the space, boot to windows repair and let it fix the boot files. Could also try disconnecting the original drive when trying to boot the clone. Looks like the uuids are different....but the partition id's may not be.

you cloned it wrong....
you didnt fill up the size....
come back when you are ready to clone again....

Personally lean towards just don't do it too, unless you are imaging like 100 machines or something isn't worth the effort typically, you can do it but you're running into two of the common issues here too need to fix boot config and/or need to resize partition after the fact... Typically like others mentioned growing a partition isn't generally a problem usually moreso with shrinking but just usually better off doing clean install of OS and programs and transfer old data separately

you are good ...
but..
here is the important step...
you will need to make sure again...that its not in dynamic...but basic...
I believe dynamic was the reason...why you couldnt boot earlier...

you will need to make sure that..its not converting the disk back to dynamic...before starting the cloning process...

#

or you will fail to boot again...

odd arch
#

ah i was like so confused earlier

#

thank you so much

vernal abyss
#

is the 500 GB drive...in dynamic..format?

odd arch
#

idk i started cloning and it closed the program

#

i might have to redo it

vernal abyss
#

its alright..you know how to do it now...properly..
check if the disk 1 is dynamic or not...

odd arch
#

still basic

vernal abyss
#

double check on dynamic part....and then start cloning...
then show the drive paritions again...after cloning is complete...to check if the disk 2 is dynamic again or not..
