i'm fresh with this kind of adventures, bought new m.2 ssd, USB enclosure, yesterday i cloned old one to the new one (1TB Crucial P1 -> 2TB Kingston KC3000, both "come with" Acronis, so i used it), popped the new one in and BOOM, INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE, tried some workarounds but i ended up just installing new windows copy, welp it might be actually better solution because it's clean install obviously, but i'm just lazy:)
When just switching ssd it's perfect to clone the drive instead of reinstalling. My recommendation is to use a clonezilla Live USB.
There's also rescuezilla which has a GUI, I haven't tried it myself though.
