Unable to boot after swapping SSDs

Could someone please help.

I have a working SSD that has Windows 10 on it (Veracrypt encryption).
I disconnected this and other drives, then I connected a second smaller SSD and installed Windows on that (as a test).
After it installed, I disconnected that drive and inserted the original SSD.

Now when I try to boot, it fails. I get a Windows repairing message, which is useless.
I've tried altering boot priority in the BIOS too.

I'm guessing the encryption is causing a MBR fudge up.
Is there a way of getting it working again or would I have to mount the original drive as a D drive and copy files onto the second drive (now a C drive). Then reinstall Windows back on the original SSD, after I've wiped it?


Thank you.
