Hello, today i tried cloning windows + all of the files from my SSD to a new SSD, everything went good unless i went to bios to change Boot priority. I couldnt see new SSD where i cloned Windows + files. I checked new SSD if everything is okay, it runs, tried connecting it to different SATA ports on motherboard, still not showing up in BIOS. My Motherboard is ASUS PRIME B560M-A, my new SSD is Samsung 870 EVO, 2,5". My main SSD from where i copied the windows is M.2. Could you please help me out how to make my new SSD appear in Boot priority. After cloning there was also created new disk : 

I dont exactly know what to do with that. On youtube there are tutorials but nothing like this is explained :(

    @MiniLightning, Please check the following items to check and fix the boot problem.
    1. Please first check if the source and target drive are the same disk style (MBR or GPT).
    You can press Win+R, then run “diskmgmt.msc” to open Windows Disk Management, then right click the source/target disk, click “Properties”-->”Volumes” to check Partition style.
    If the target disk is different with the source one, please delete all partitions on the target disk and convert it to the same form via Windows Disk Management. After that, please run system or disk clone again.
    2. Please check the connect way of the target disk when you boot from it. Generally, you need to connect it as an internal drive to boot. You can connect the target disk to the second internal slot, then boot into BIOS to set it to boot. Or, you can remove the source disk and connect target one to here, then boot.
    Ps. You need to boot the cloned disk on the same computer. If you want to use the cloned disk on the second computer, please try to use system/disk backup, and universal restore to another computer.
    3. Please try to clear the target disk and then clone again.
    4. If they are GPT system disk, please boot into BIOS to check if there are multiple boot options. If yes, please try to select every boot option to check if it is able to boot.
    5. Please try to use AOMEI Boot Repair tool to repair the cloned disk. Please still boot from the source disk, download AOMEI Boot Repair tool from the link, and then unzip it. Then, run “AOMEI Boot Repair.exe” (select the corresponding x64 or x86 version based on your system version) to fix the cloned system. Then, try to boot it again.
