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!

You can pretty easily create the extra partitions yourself (Google for "diskpart UEFI"). Not sure if that will put it in your UEFI boot list, though. It seems you'll also need to do some stuff with bcdedit, which is included in WinPE.

Good luck!

After spending 16 hours on this, I'm going with a clean install on the new drive and manually saving what I can.
