Startup troubles on a cloned drive

I’m trying to replace my old 256 GB HDD with a 2TB M.2, and I don’t want to lose all of my old files (Windows 10) so I used the included Acronis software to clone my HDD to the new SSD. When I booted the new drive, I was able to log into my profile (though at a significantly lower speed than usual), my background appeared for about a second before going black. The menu bar flashes for a moment, though it’s white instead of black (excluding the Task View button which showed up black still) before disappearing, repeating on both screens seemingly randomly. I tried making a recovery drive, but I don’t know how to make use of it without erasing my data, and I don’t know how to make it work. Please help!!
