Copied Windows partition to new SSD. Now unable to boot from new SSD.

I had a similar problem booting to a new SSD with Windows 11 pre-installed. I resolved it with a one line entry in Command using bcdboot.exe this gave me the dual boot option Try entering the script below in Terminal Admin bcdboot C:\Windows /s H: Good luck!

Hi Aura, Thanks for your response. No I haven't done that. As part of the upgrade process the machine automatically checks for update. The scrolling progress bar comes up but it never stops scrolling and it never ends the search. I think that was after it loaded win 10 which took ages...
