I have an Asus ROG Scar II Strix that had the stock 512gb NVMe ssd, which I have upgraded to a Crucial 4TB PCIe 3.0 M.2 ssd. On the original ssd, I five partitions, which I have cloned onto the new drive (grub, system recovery, windows 10 home install, Manjaro Linux install, and a shared data partition so I can blow away either OS without losing my files). I have installed the M.2 drive correctly, verified that the CMOS battery is not the issue, and checked UEFI for any missing paths to the boot file or misconfigurations that I am aware of. I had originally thought I had not flashed it correctly, however after giving uefi a direct path to grub, I found that everything works except windows.
If I try to boot to windows, it goes into the typical system recovery loop and will neither recover nor boot correctly. I have pretty much ruled out all possible hardware issues. How do I recover my windows install? I could blow it away, but I don’t have a backup and don’t want to spend the next two weeks reinstalling and reconfiguring it. I have tried all of the presented windows repair or recovery options and none of them worked, including trying to reinstall windows from the recovery partition. It is on the new ssd correctly, it just doesn’t want to run, and it is only the windows related partitions giving me problems. I have spent a great bit of time already researching answers online, but did not find one that really addressed a multi-boot upgrade scenario. Thanks in advance. I am actually asking from the Manjaro install, so the disk definitely works correctly otherwise.
