Q: Windows10 drive does not boot after cloning to SSD (mid-2010)
Hi to all.
In my mid-2010 mac pro, I have a windows 10 drive (upgrated from windows 8.1) in bay 3. I want to upgrade it to ssd. So, I bought one, I cloned the drive with the winclone pro app (v.5.4) but the new drive is not bootable. When I choose to boot from it, it stops to a blank (command line - like) DOS screen with a blinking dash.
Any suggestions?
Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

The problem was from limitations of El Capitan. The OS does not allow other applications to write to MBR (...) od the disks. So the new disk cannot be bootable.
I installed Yosemity in another disk and cloned the hdd to ssd from there.
There was another solution to disable "csrutil" from recovery terminal, but another problem I had, did not let me go to recovery mode (frequent to fusion drives).
