The “startup repair” Macrium offers is garbage and won’t even load, so while I have all my data, I don’t have an OS…

I appreciate any insights!

    It’s a bit of a long shot, but I recently had a similar issue that kind of resolved itself. I cloned from one SSD to another and it wouldn’t boot, tried pretty much all the recovery options but wasn’t getting anywhere. The drive I cloned had both W10 and 11 on it.

    I set up a Windows 10 installer USB, booted from that, and for some reason the W11 partition gave me an option for a system restore point that wasn’t available when previously booting from the SSD. It did its thing and after that I was able to boot into both W11 and then following that, W10.

    Don’t know if that helps you at this point but either way I wish you luck.
