I changed from a hard disk to an SSD and after cloning my C drive onto the SSD I adjusted the boot order to the SSD. However, when I restart the PC it enters recovery mode and doesn't boot again unless I revert the boot order to the default. I checked the SSD and it appears to be functioning properly, being read by the system and visible in the This PC menu, and it contains all the files from the C drive. I'm unsure if I made any mistakes.

You performed an action that wasn't ideal with the clone process. Which clone utility were you employing? What motherboard and storage devices were involved? If restoring it to its original settings restores functionality, is that the case?

Following the cloning process, did you briefly disconnect the hard disk prior to trying to boot from the SSD?
Once you ensure successful boot into the cloned drive, you may reattach the previous storage device.
Overlooking this crucial action can lead to complications, such as Windows using partitions from both drives.
Reattempt the clone operation, but this time detach the original drive before starting the process on the cloned one.

I used DiskCopy for cloning although I don't have idea about the motherboard and drives as it is a very old PC.
No I didn't know I needed to do that. So should I disconnect the original hard drive before booting from the ssd?

The old drive needs to be removed before starting from the new cloned drive. If this isn't done, the drive letters may become incorrect and you'll have to redo the cloning process.

While DiskCopy remains an option, there exists a reliable sequence of actions.

So I completed all the steps and fortunately started from the SSD. But now I've faced another issue. All my drives have been renamed—my original D drive is now called H drive—and it's causing problems with my apps. It's really frustrating and I don't know why it's not displaying the original SSD anymore. What should I do?

Display a screenshot of Disk Management. (upload to imgur.com and share the link)
You may adjust drive letters as desired.
(Exception: Windows OS drive letter must stay C:.)

Is it possible to delete the partition on your SSD, leaving only the C drive intact, such as merging the unallocated space with the G drive? Additionally, what steps are needed to rename the drive letters?

Extend the C: partition. You're nearing full capacity on C: (119MB available). After that, booting into Windows will stop.
Remove the drive letters from partitions D and G (500MB each). These don't require a drive letter.
For the remaining partitions (excluding C Smile

Smile

, you can assign drive letters as desired.
Change drive letters in Disk Management by right-clicking on a partition and selecting "Change drive letter and paths".
