Next shut down, disconnected the 1TB (original) HDD, and tried to boot from the 640 GB, with no success.

I cloned ALL partitions, in the same order.

I figured if his worked, I would go ahead and repeat the process using the SSD. I then took a 640GB HDD to use as a test subject, and used Macrium to CLONE the 1TB HDD. Next created Rescue Media through Macrium, and I also have a Win10 bootable USB on hand. So-o-o, what I did first was create an IMAGE, and stored it on a 256 GB USB stick. I will be using Macrium Reflect to do the job. I have been very good at keeping this thing clean, and I really don't want to start all over with apps, settings, etc. The most important thing to me is, I want to CLONE, not do a fresh install of WIN10. So I'm trying to clone my 1TB HDD to a 500GB 970 EVO SSD, but I have some confusion in my little brain.
