I switched from a hard disk to an SSD and after cloning my C drive into the SSD I changed the boot order to my SSD.

But after booting the PC just goes into recovery mode and doesn't boot again until and unless I change the boot order back to default I checked the SSD and it seems to be working fine as it is read by the system and it's showing on the “This PC” menu and it also seems to be having all the files that the C drive has.

I don't understand my mistake if any?

    Likely that SSD is not an exact clone of the entire HDD. To boot from SSD, it needs not just C: partition, but the boot and other partitions, as well. Commented Oct 29 at 16:47

    Do you have fast boot enabled? Does it boot if you disable fast boot? Commented Oct 29 at 17:40
  • As @squillman suggests, also ndisable Fast Startup and Hibernation in Windows, and Quick Boot in BIOS, all of which leave remnants of RAM serialized to the file system, marking it "dirty", before switching to new SSD., Commented Oct 29 at 18:23
  • did you leave the old drive connected? windows 10 usually uses GPT so and each volume on that drive has a unique identifier, if you made an exact copy you may have conflicting identifiers. Commented Oct 29 at 23:38
