I cloned my failing SSD using Macrium Reflect, but it didn't copy the UEFI data, if Windows startup repair can't fix it, what options do I have? (lemmy.world)

The "startup repair" Macrium offers is garbage and won't even load, so while I have all my data, I don't have an OS...

I appreciate any insights!

Thanks, I'll flash this with my laptop. I made a Windows Recovery Disk, but apparently that's worthless. My options are to attempt a repair or turn off the PC... Like you said, the attempt was hot garbage.

I wish Macrium wasn't so highly regarded, I would have attempted this with another route. Live and learn I guess. It took four days to copy the data, it corrupted the source, and the trial key they give you doesn't allow access to their support forums.
