I have a HP 250 G7 laptop with the i5-1035G1, 8GB ram and a 5400rpm 1TB HDD. 
I bought a 500GB SSD and I cloned My C:\ drive to it using DiskGenius.
I rebooted the laptop and entered the BIOS. I Went to boot options and when I wanted to select my SSD the boot drive, I noteivced that I can't see it.

This is what the boot options menu looks like in the BIOS. I have both the HDD and SSD installed in the system.

Remove the hard drive for the first bootup of the newly cloned SSD. You have 2 different identical boot sectors in the computer and it confuses it. After you get the system to boot to the SSD you can put the HDD back in. Not a bad idea to format it first.
