The PNY XLR8 SSD 240GB is a solid-state drive, which means it stores data using flash memory similar to how USBs store data, but much more effectively. Solid-state drives perform much more effectively than hard disk drives, with faster read/write speeds, lower latencies, and even higher physical shock resistance, but come at a price premium.
Without knowing specifically what you did and what steps, it's really hard to say. Makes sure the original drive is no longer connected and that the new cloned drive is connected exactly where the original used to be. Disconnect any bootalble media for the time being as well (thumb drives, usb drives, CD/DVD) You may need to go into the bios and check the boot order. The bios may have set something else to a higher boot priority in the process. I'm guessing you used the software that came with the drive (an older OEM/custom version) and started the process from within Windows as well?
Hopefully it's just a matter of checking the top 3 options out. If not, put the original back in (without the new drive being attached) and make sure it boots OK. Then, make your rescue media and boot from it instead of starting the process from Windows - this is safer and usually works better too. Please see these posts as well: Sticky: Where did you get the software from as well? PNY looks to have a 2017 version which will have better support, bug fixes, drivers and compatibility for new systems and hardware.

All I did was follow the instructions included in the manual for my PNY SSD. I downloaded and activated the software (True Image 2015) by going to the link found in the manual. I attached the SSD to my laptop via a USB to SATA adapter.
