You cannot clone Win10 from another laptop with a different serial number. The BIOS won't recognize the hidden security boot partition on the drive that stll has the old laptop's unique serial number

ok so how do i get my applications and files to new laptop0

(1) The HDD must be recognized in the BIOS INFORMATION tab, not the Boot tab.(2) Did the A515-55-55R6 come with a factory operating system? If yes, the personal data and programs from the old drive can be transferred to the new drive from a USB port using a 2.5" USB-to-HDD adapter(less than $10)(3) What brand and model is the older laptop with Win10?(4) Was Win10 factory installed on the old laptop?

The cloned gateway drive cannot boot from the new laptop. The partitioning schemes are incompatible with your new laptop setup. You can however use FileExplore on the new laptop to easily copy the personal data and personally installed programs off this old gateway cloned drive with the 2.5" USB-to-HDD adapter to your new laptop's boot drive.

i ll have to find a video on this for guidance this is all new to me.thanks for the info0

Video? Just buy the 2.5" USB-to-HDD cable adapter from Amazon. Plug the old drive into one end of the cable and plug the other end of the cable into a USB port. Do you really need a video to show you how to plug the cable in?
