Rebooting while it is trying to revert changes could make Windows unusable and require you to reload Windows. I had this happen on one of my PC's and had to reload Windows. On the other 3 it worked perfectly - and on the 2nd attempt, it worked on the one that failed. Hopefully it resolves soon....if not, you may have to power down.

Can you see if the HDD light is blinking?

Sometimes it does - sometimes is does not. Reinstalling the OS from scratch on a SSD is the best way to do it. Samsung has a migration package that works fairly good - but it is far from perfect in a lot of installs.
