    it also behaves like this using a HDD . . .

      Then the clone/image wasn’t created with all the partitions included. How many partitions show on the backup?
      Is Windows installed as UEFI or MBR? If UEFI & you clean installed 20H2 there should be 4 partitions, if you’ve upgraded Windows over the years there’s usually 5 partitions.

        it wont let the MACRIUM pe write to the ssd . .thats why it boots back into the original o/s
        whereas EASEUS installs the new image . . then the o/s cant be found
        this is the only motherboard thats eve done this
        its a msi 310M PRO-VDH plus with an i7 and 16g ram

            What size is the original HDD ? the ssd drive should be the same size
            When you did the clone did you also Optimize the ssd?
            When you do a fresh install of windows you should only have 1 drive connected.

                When you get the new SSD will strongly suggest that you create install media and do a fresh install then install the Chip-set and drivers in the proper order.

                This way you are not copying old issues over form the previous install.

                Also suggest that you look into a bigger SSD and external storage for backing up important data that you d not wish to loose.

                  the motherboard is new . . the ssd is new
                  when i create an image of the o/s with easus then rewrite it to the ssd
                  the next time i boot the mobo cant find the operating system ( which is an exact copy of the original )
                  this is the problem

                    When you created the original image on the hdd did you have more than 1 drive connected
                    Can you give us an image of disk management.

                      ive stripped everything back to 1 drive 1 partion and installed windows ( 240g ssd )
                      it boots reboots no prob
                      i have now added a second ’ DATA ’ drive ( 240g ssd ) with pre installed system progs
                      i have now installed β€˜easeus free’ and created a system image
                      i have now replaced the original operating system with the image
                      it now boots evey time
                      so now i am going to add more progs and at least 1 more drive and do system images
                      as i go along which i will run . . and hope i dont get the ’ cant find the system message ’ again
                      morel is ’ dont confuse the motherboard ’ i never could before EUFI
                      thanks for all the i/p

                        As suspected & mentioned it seems the original image was corrupt. This is why I mentioned imaging again with Macrium to rule out an EaseUs problem.
