I have encountered a similar problem. I have El Capitan and Windows 10 on a later-2015 iMac. Windows 10 won't boot via winclone 5. It has 5 partitions. How to make the 5th partition into hybrid MBR?

    1. How did you clone Windows with OSXRESERVED? It indicates a partial BCA failure.

    2. On 2015 Macs, W10 is installed using EFI (not BIOS/MBR). You do not need a MBR.

    3. Did the Winclone restore finish properly?

    4. If the destination is an iMac 2015, what is the year/model of the source Mac?

    Winclone is able to restore finish properly and windows boots ok now.

    Here are steps:

    1. Same Mac model for source and destination (no change)

    2. Clean installation of El Capitan. There ws No OSXRSERVED partition after windows 10 was installed again via bootcamp.

    3. Winclone image restore smoothly and windows side can boot successfully.

     

    I think that step 2 is the key. This is a good practice to learn about MBR even we don't need it this time.

    Thank for your help, Loner.
