Cloned drive won't boot

[vikki]

??????

You boot from the created USB drive which then leads you through the installation process.

Have only the new target HDD connected.

When you get to the drive selection part of the install delete any existing partitions.

If you have a quick Google there'll be loads of guides available telling you how to install Windows.

I think I am just getting a little mind boggled but will give it ago
Thank you

Hello
After much ado, using only the new drive connected, I was able to reset the pc and reinstall windows 10 and now have a 500gb bootable drive. Whilst re-downloading my music program I noticed that the system etc wasnt using the whole drive and there is a very large partition at the end. The program is still downloading but presumably it is easy to extend the required partition in order to use the unallocated space.
Thank you so much for all your help so far.
