Windows has supported Secure Boot since Win8, so as long as you're not trying to use a custom bootloader (or one that's been maliciously altered), that won't be a factor.

That just makes sure that the bootloader was properly signed by a trusted authority, so if you were able to use Secure Boot when booting from the old disk, you should be able to use it when booting from the new one containing the same data. And Secure Boot isn't going to be an issue here. But if your system supports UEFI booting, I doubt that's it. The only exception I can think of would be if you had a very old system that still allowed you to set the SATA ports to IDE Compatibility mode rather than AHCI mode. You shouldn't have to change any BIOS settings to switch from one SATA-based drive to another, regardless of the fact that you're moving from an HDD to an SSD. I'm pretty sure its a BIOS setting that I have over looked. The SSD boots fine in another configuration, but it does not boot in the laptop itself so I know its not the clone.

Cleared the security keys (After backing them up)įor reference, Support Assist doesnt even see the SSD (I cloned all the partitions).

Added a second boot entry to point to the efi boot and attempted to boot from the file.

Cloned the HDD from the Laptop with secure boot off and on different hardware.

I tried the following, but the same problem occurs: Windows 10 appears like its booting, but after 35 seconds at the boot screen, the system reboots and I get this screen: After the clone, I installed the SSD and attempted to boot. Hi I have a InspiLaptop that I recently cloned a SATA hdd over to a new samsung 860 SATA SSD using Macrium Reflect.
