Hey everyone! I recently upgraded from a 240GB SSD to a 1TB SATA drive. I used DiskGenius to clone my SSD and run the system migration. After swapping in the new SSD this morning, my PC keeps booting to the BIOS screen. I'm not sure what's going wrong. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Are you able to get into BIOS and manually select the boot drive, or is it stuck at the BIOS screen? If it’s stuck, it's possible you missed some crucial hidden partitions during cloning. You might be looking at needing a clean install. Just a heads up, if you go that route, you might lose your files, but it sounds like your original SSD isn't booting either. You could use your Windows 10 install disc with the new SSD for a fresh start.
It sounds like you might need to check your BIOS boot settings. Make sure the new SSD is set as the primary boot device in the boot order.
Cloning can sometimes be tricky! Double-check that you cloned all necessary partitions. If that doesn’t work, consider doing a fresh install of Windows.
