I am building a computer and need All the information from the old computer in the new one. I cloned the drive to a new SSD, and upgraded the OS to windows 10 from 7. I put the drive in the new computer and it was not listed in the BIOS as a bootable drive. Any solutions?

Since you have an SSD, you should do a clean OS install on the SSD. Then use your existing drive as a data drive. It is unlikely that an existing OS installation will boot on a new motherboard. You will have to reinstall your apps, but downloaded game files should be reusable.
