Acronis True Image will backup and restore to different hardware.
Cloning a corrupted hard drive doesn’t work. Reinstall Windows from scratch and try identifying files you want to save from the bad drive (if you can boot and see them to copy).

OK. Three recommendations for Acronis are a charm! I’ll get that to avoid future trouble. Many thanks.

What crashed was the BIOS software in the SSD. the BIOS is on the motherboard, not the SSD. Given the age of the PC, perhaps the motherboard battery needs replacing.
