Aurora R10, can't install Windows, nor can it boot
Aurora R10
SATA 1 TB Drive (original drive)
Crucial M.2 NVME 2TB SSD (New Drive)
I just upgraded my storage to SSD and cloned from my HDD to it. After booting successfully on the SSD I formatted the old HDD and it seemed to have went fine until the computer reset. Now I cannot boot. Nor can I install windows via USB clean install. I am at a loss as what to do and any help is appreciated.
Both drives are still in the computer. The SSD shows as a boot option under F12, but NOT BIOS. It also is in properly. But it is not able to be selected in boot order in BIOS.

Switch your BIOS from RAID mode to AHCI mode, and it will work. SATA Mode

Thank you! That'll help one part, but any advice on how to get the original drive working?

Crucial provides software free of charge to clone an existing hard drive to a new Crucial SSD.
You will need the original drive in a bootable and working condition.

Unfortunately I already did that, but it didn't work. Is there a way to copy the entire SSD to the SATA drive via command prompt?

"After booting successfully on the SSD I formatted the old HDD and it seemed to have went fine until the computer reset. "
If you formatted the old HDD everything on it is gone. There are recovery services for it, but none are free and it's not cheap.
There are also some recovery software programs, but they all come with their own issues.
That's why I always advice to use an external HDD or other storage device to clone to first, and then clone to the new device. This way you always have a backup of the original drive you can store for months if needed.
If you know the new SSD works properly, you can clone it back to the original HDD. However, you will loose ANY ability to recover the data from the original HDD when you do that, so make sure you understand the consequences.
