I used Acronis to clone my old drive to my new one. My old drive had windows apps installed on them. All of the folders and files seem to have been cloned successfully.

Now after installing my new drive and changing the drive letter to match my old one, my windows apps dont work anymore.

I get an error when opening an app like Xbox saying “This app can’t open. Xbox can’t open because it is offline. The storage device might be missing or disconnected. See in store.”

Any idea why this is happening or how I can fix it? Any insight is appreciated

    When you clone drives, you will commonly run into issues if you aren’t cloning to the exact same hardware. Windows is likely looking for hardware codes that it no longer has because you changed them by putting everything on a new drive.
