Boot process on a slow SSD slows down after cloning from an HDD
I recently made a clone of my HDD to a new SSD, but after that, my booting became much slower. Once the Windows logo loads quickly, a black loading screen appears and stays for a while. It's not extremely slow, but it runs slower than my original HDD, and I suspect this black screen shouldn't appear. Additionally, the motherboard logo shows up instead of the Windows logo on the first screen. What should I do? (I've already formatted my old HDD) i5 7400 GTX 1050GT 8GB DDR4 2400MHz SSD, plus a 480GB TOSHIA PHD 1TB HDD. Sorry for the poor English, I'm from Brazil. Thanks!
Secure your existing setup by backing it up to an HDD, then perform a clean Windows installation on your SSD. After the new installation completes, simply reinstall your files.
Initially, if the motherboard logo shows up instead of the Windows logo, it indicates a BIOS setting change. Next, perform a proper system clone. Utilize Macrium Reflect Rescue USB, boot from the USB drive, and then clone the system that isn’t currently active.
