I cloned using diskgenius my system OS using winPE to an external SSD in a M.2 USB tray.But when I inserted the new drive in the usb slot, it just booted up with letter D: (system is C:) and looks like identical clone. However I did not get a signature collision and the drive was not offline.Does it mean the clone was not identical? Or windows automatically changed the signature of the cloned OS drive?I can confirm that the new cloned SSD has a different identifier. Is it default behaviour to set a new ID for cloned drive in win 11?Will it still boot?
