I can not find it the BIOS what so ever (https /i.imgur.com/QNGw5KS.jpg).

If you now have both drives installed and both have Windows installed, remove the older HDD. Having two versions of the OS will cause the bios to not be able to boot either.See if the SSD will boot without the HDD installed.Alternatively,you might be able to boot from SSD in bios explorer.Rapidly tap F9 for Boot Options Menu.Arrow down to Boot from EFI File.Select the long line of text that starts with No Volume Label, etc etc.Choose Arrow down to Arrow down to bootx64.efiIt should boot one time into the SSD. If it does, you can wipe the HDD from there and use it for storage only.Also, if you cloned a bigger drive to a smaller drive, that can cause issues also if the clone wasn't done correctly to resize the C partition and place the recovery in the correct position.Let me know what you find out. I had same problem and mange to get it working.I've installed fresh windows from USB on my new SSD since copy sector-by-sector from old HDD to new SSD didn't work.After installation I had same problem but then I went into boot record and duplicated orignial entry and pointed duplicated entry on installation folder where my widows on SSD is installed.That worked like charmSo now BIOS is loading boot record from old HDD on which I have entry 'Win SSD' and 'Win Old'. Win SSD is pointing to Windows installation on new SSDNot best way to go about that but at least I can work with my OS on new SSD and only boot is being loaded from old disc.I think there is option in BIOS to keep boot record in BIOS so that can speed loading of OS but it's fast enought this way.
