Hello, I understand your situation. You have a full backup of your previous Windows 10 installation on an external drive and a fresh Windows 10 setup on an internal drive. You're looking to move everything over without restarting the old system, avoiding manual setup steps and re-installing programs. Since the old drive was a Mac bootcamp media, the bootloader was on another partition. Let me know if you'd like guidance on the best method.
The issue stems from a fresh SSID, requiring a new machine account and updated ACL. The existing Windows 10 setup isn’t compatible—restoring it wouldn’t fix the problem.
I can't start the old Windows 10 version because it's a copy of the previous drive, and that original drive didn't include the necessary boot components.
Use a specific installation medium, then select "repair my computer" to fix your operating system setup.
Consider using the internal drive's partition instead of the external disk directly
