I made a copy of my old SSD and removed the original. When attempting to boot, I received an error saying "Windows boot selection failed." I used the Windows recovery tool but it didn't work. I also tried running "bootrec.exe /fixmbr," which also failed. I attached a screenshot of my disk management.

It seems the only option is to install a new Windows and then transfer files yourself from the storage device.

Use a bootable Rescue USB from Macrium Reflect, perform a clone, and ensure the copied system starts correctly.

I applied the reflection tool instead of using a bootable USB drive.
