Fix Bazzite after upgrading to new SSD?

I just swapped out the 1tb ssd on my Ally X with a 4tb. I used Acronis True Image to copy the partitions over, but it warned that it wouldn't be able to boot a linux install after. It does still boot into Windows, but how do I go about fixing it so that I can get back into Bazzite again? I used secure boot when I installed Bazzite, if that makes a difference. Should I just wipe everything and start over instead of trying to save what I had on the old drive?

You should just need to select it from the bios boot menu as long as whatever you used didn't nuke the bootloader for bazzite

That'll be rough. Had some stuff on bazzite that I didn't backup. Thanks Hikari, I'll see if I can salvage somehow

You can try mounting the btrfs partition in Windows with the WinBtrfs driver and back up your data that way
