    WORKED SOLUTION: I had also the same error blinking letter "J" with the tool MiniTool Partition Wizard. What helped was performing an extra step in MiniToolPartition Wizard. Click on new SSD Disk, went to menu "Disk" --> "Rebuild MBR" (on new disk) --> Apply. Afther that new SSD disk was recognized when booting to Windows 10.

    It won't matter what type of drive it is SSD or mechanical I have tried both types when cloning and on 2 different Asus motherboards the drives boot to a J.
    The only fix I found was boot to command prompt and use diskpart. The letters are usually swapped system reserve is c and main is d. You have to swap them back.
    diskpart - to see the drives
    list volume - to see and chose the partitions
    select volume - to make changes to that particular partition
    remove letter=C to remove the wrong letter C from "system reserved" partition 99-100MB
    assign letter=k or whatever is available, then select volume for main partition
    remove letter=d or whatever letter the main partition is (usually the largest partition)
    assign letter=C
    list volumes to double check that it is now correct
    exit stay in command prompt and perform the following commands
    enter cd C:\windows\system32 hit enter
    bootrec /fixmbr hit enter
    bootrec /rebuildbcd hit enter
    exit
    boot to windows
    Hope this works for you please let me know if you have any questions.
