If you add the menu back, it will now have the correct two choices, one for Macrium and one for Windows.Here is how to clone a hard drive in Windows. Now when you reboot it is just as normal ad you won't see anything other than the logo during the boot process. Once you are in Windows you can launch MR and go to Other Tasks and select Remove Boot Menu. So make sure to select the one on Vol 4 or whatever it says. The one without the Vol or number 4 is a bad one and if clicked will show that error before the Boot fix. One may say Windows and the other may say Wndows on 4 or Vol 4. Since you enabled the Marcium Boot Menu, you may see 2 Windows entries on the initial boot screen. It will take a few seconds and then you can reboot normally. Have the mouse connected and go to the Other Tasks menu item and select Fix Windows Boot. Just put in the MR Rescue USB, go to the bios so you can override the boot to boot into the USB.

When the PC is rebooted onto the new SSD you may get an error. This is where I had an issue the first time. Now, once this is completed, you will reboot.

What that has done is allowed you to resize the main partition to the larger size you want. To do this drag the right edge of the partition on the destination and leave enough space for the WinRe partition which you will drag down to the right of the C partition. Resize the C (main partition on the destination drive. Make sure all but the WinRe partitions are selected and drag down to the destination drive. Now you will be looking for the restore area and select the source and destination drive accordingly.

You will want a wired mouse to get around in the app since the touch pad driver is not there. Now reboot and you should go into the MR Rescue. At that time you can verify that you see the new SSD. If it shows an error reboot into the bios and override the boot location to go to the USB. Plug in the MR Rescue on the USB and boot up. Once cloning is done you can power down and swap the SSDs. There a lot of videos on YouTube as well that cover all versions and various drive types. Select destination and look over the options.

In the backup tab select all partitions of the stock SSD and clone under that. This can be turned off later if you like. From the other tools menu item choose Add Boot Menu so you get a choice when Windows first boots up. Going off of memory you will need to create a Windows boot disc (USB) and a Macrium Rescure disc (USB). I know it also supports TRIM when going from regular HD to SSD. With MR it does let you clone from most if not all drive types.

The only software I have used in the last 10+ years is Macrium Reflect (MR) since it works very well and is not expensive. Plus the SSD you take out will be great to have as a backup.

Make sure to install all updates to Windows, Drivers and Apps so you don't have to do it as much after the move. So that will give you the same recovery, system, C, and WinRe (IIRC) that are on the factory SSD. I would recommend cloning the whole stock SSD as it will clone all 4 partitions. The nice thing about cloning, is it is a duplicate so you don't have to worry about drivers.
