Greetings community! I come to you with a problem that I have been having for some time and cannot solve. I recently upgraded from Win10 to Win11. Considering I'm running a 256GB Samsung EVO 970Pro NVme PCIe x4 SSD the system was running at snail's pace. Already having a lot of applications installed and some custom settings, I kept trying all kinds of tricks found here on this forum or on the internet in general to revive the system but nothing worked. So I thought the last resort would be to reinstall a fresh Win11 on another partition of a Crucial P2 1TB PCI Express 3.0 x4 SSD I already had installed on the system. Although the latest SSD does not live up to the performance of the first, the fresh Windows 11 now moves flawlessly. I went ahead and reinstalled all the necessary apps from scratch. Now having no point in keeping the storage space occupied with the two operating systems I thought of formatting the original Samsung SSD with the idea of moving/cloning the new Win11 to it and for that I used AOMEI Partition Assistant. We all know that cloning an OS requires a reboot for AOMEI to do its job. And..surprise, the system now refuses to boot telling me there is no OS installed. I had to reinstall Win11 again on the Samsung SSD and managed to restore the boot entry from the Crucial SSD using EASYBCD. I went into AOMEI and reformatted the Samsung SSD again tried to clone the OS. And.. same story on boot, no OS found. It's driving me crazy.. I don't know how to proceed. The idea is that I would like to avoid having to install all the apps and everything else needed again.
