I just purchased an M.2 PCIe SSD and transferred all data from my previous HDD, including Windows 10. I’ve modified the OS. When I take out the old HDD and restart the machine, will it still work with Windows 10?

Yes, it includes all the partitions. You can verify this by booting from the SSD.

I completed the partitioning. I attempted to boot from BIOS, but the HDD continues to run Windows. It seems there might be an issue.

You asked about the method used to duplicate or clone the disk image, such as partitioning and copying files or employing software like Macrium.

Clone everything, remove the existing disk, and attempt to start over.

It's normal to be cautious with SSDs. Your approach is sensible.

Ignore it—just unplug the HDD and check if Windows recognizes the SSD as the boot device. The cloning creates the same drive labels, which can lead to confusion. Ensure everything functions correctly before reformatting the HDD again.
