I had a look at a similar situation reported on the Forum (multi-boot off multiple hard drive, Jan 2022), but couldn't relate it properly to my situation.
I’m trying to run on a new PC a Windows 10 Pro currently installed on an old PC (with a different MB of course). The problem here has nothing to do with the new MB environment which I can handle. I just can’t get Windows 10 to boot on the new PC.
Current environment:
Old PC: Windows 10 Pro
New PC: Multiboot with Windows 7 Ultimate on the 1st SSD and two other Windows 7’s on the 2nd SSD. This setup works perfectly.
Actions:
I cloned the Windows 10 system from the old PC to the 2nd SSD of the new PC. Then I opened Windows 7 Ultimate to run EasyBCD 2.4 in Administrator mode. The BCD is related to the 1st partition (the one containing Windows 7 Ultimate). I clicked on Write MBR, then added 4 entries, one for each System. Finally, I saved and rebooted.
At restart, whenever I select Windows 10 in the list, I get the classical message stating that I should insert the installation device to do a repair.
On the other hand, all 3 other systems start up perfectly.
As mentioned in the other similar Forum report, I used the BCD Store feature and, surprisingly, there is only one entry in the Bootloader: Windows 7 Ultimate!
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated
