I have a 1 tb HDD that I am cloning to a m.2 NVME SSD that is 500 GB. I have them both at GPT so that is no issue and I use AOMEI as the cloning tool as it has worked many times for me without an issue. I have cloned it a few times now trying different things to fix it and nothing is working for me.<\/p>\n

error code:0xc000000e<\/p>\n
File:\\windows\\system32\\Winload.efi<\/p>\n
I have encountered this problem many times and the normal fix did not work in this occasion. The normal fix is assign the EFI partition with a letter the use the command bcdboot and copy everything from the EFI partition to the C drive and what not and it resolves the issue everytime except this time. However after I run that command it comes back with the upside down smiley face blue screen and then an error code:0xc0000001.<\/p>\n
I have tried cloning it a couple times to see if it was a bad clone but no. I have also made sure that the old one can still boot it up and it can so I do not know where to go from here. All help would be greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n
Ok, I just want to say thank you to everyone that helped out and gave me some tips. I did however end up finding the solution which was that because I switched from a SATA connection to an NVME connection. When the computer would boot up it would activate the SATA connection and when it failed it never activated the NVME driver which is why I kept getting the upside down smiley face.<\/p>\n
SOLUTION: In the end my solution was booting back up the old drive and going to command prompt as an administrator and typing “sc config stornvme start=boot” and it changed it to where it activates the microsoft NVME generic driver from the startup. I then cloned the SSD from the old hard drive and Voila!!<\/p>\n
I also heard that you couldve just booted the SSD in safe mode which will make it boot with as few of drivers as possible and then after it restarts it will pull all of the drivers needed but I did not try it that way so I cannot confirm that actually works.<\/p>","upvoteCount":2,"datePublished":"2023-10-04T12:16:40.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/cloning-a-sata-hdd-to-a-m-2-nvme-ssd/960130/17","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"hagen-swc","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/hagen-swc"}},"suggestedAnswer":[{"@type":"Answer","text":"

I think the first thing people will suggest is using different cloning tools. Often times a different tool will just get the job done, rather than wasting time finding the cause.<\/p>","upvoteCount":1,"datePublished":"2023-10-03T16:01:05.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/cloning-a-sata-hdd-to-a-m-2-nvme-ssd/960130/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"jessevas","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/jessevas"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
I mean if I have to then I will I was just hoping I could find the actual reason for failure here.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2023-10-03T16:03:40.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/cloning-a-sata-hdd-to-a-m-2-nvme-ssd/960130/3","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"hagen-swc","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/hagen-swc"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
