Reinstalling hackingtosh backup

[hnieuw]

Hi Guys,
A quick question;
After a while I decided to reinstal my hackingtosh on my acer aspire. I already had it working a while ago, but switched to windows and now I want to dualbooth. Luckily I made a backup of the drive and EFI folder so I thought it would be plug and play but it doesn't seem that easy. I did a clean mac OS (journaled) erased SSD and dragged the content of my old hackingtosh drive backup on it. In addition I dragged the EFI partition to its EFI partition, but the acer aspire says: 'no bootable disk'. Am I overlooking here something or does is simply not work like this?

Depending on Clover version it may need boot files installed to the MBR.
What method did you use to make the backups?

I copied my EFI folder, and also just dragged the files on a backup drive. Also have a .sparesbundle with timemachine.

Then you need to use a later version of Clover or re-install Clover to the HDD to get the Boot0af in the MBR.

I made another usb stick with the same macos version today. After I had a clean instal again I tried to drag and replace the files from my dual boot windows to the os drive, without luck.
Status now is that I have my old Hackintosh settings back (with the backup of EFI and all the kext I reinstalled from the L/E backup folder). So I am good to go in a way, but all the MacOS settings and Applications are gone ofcourse...
Feels a bit stupid having to instal everything again from the start while the backup application, system and library folders are on a HD next to me

It does not work like that - an OS must be installed, not drag & drop/copied from drive to drive.
