Omen will not boot

[JDurnya]

Cloned a brand new 2 gig V-NAND SSD from my Skytech system and installed it into my Omen 30L 

symptom is no boot disc found 

installed the SSD into the skytech system and it boots fine.  Both Machines have windows 10 64 bit

also tried to update the bios and the update fails every time...

please advise

thanks !

I suspect the Skytech system is too different for the Omen 30L to see the Windows OS correctly.  I would suspec the HP Cloud Recovery Tool to support the Omen but there is more to the model number than what is posted.  Look here for the complete download to put Windows 10 on the new SSD

Typically if there is a hardware discrepancy, windows will start to boot then fail. this gets stuck in the bios screen.  I realize i can install a fresh copy of windows... and actually have the original drive from the omen which is working properly.  The drive from my skytech machine has all my programs / info  configured.  it would take too long to reload and re- configure .

thus, my conundrum

I would not expect that using a cloned drive from a different system would be usable.  Windows licensing will not allow such a thing to happen, unless the Skytech system has a retail copy of Windows and then it will possibly be assigned to the Omen and/or disabled on the Skytech system.

There are ways to convert to another PC but only with extreme driver interception via software.  Typically a user does not have the necessary software to preform to a dissimilar hardware, but check this

Or do similar research.  It will not work with OEM Windows not matter what you do.
