I'd try using windows, and a free clone software for windows, which there are some out there, then clone windows to the other hdd. then there is the boot loader if you are not going to use grub to boot both. for the boot loader for windows.
torrent an iso or go to windows sight and get one and still using windows and windows sight to get an iso and create a bootale iso usb stick then use that for your maintenance mode to try and fix the boot loader for windows. first pulling the other drive out, so windows only sees it as the primary drive.
hopefully the cloning did the same with your mbr part so it has something to work with in repairing it back to the windows boot loader.
As to how to fix the loader we'd have to know how it is booting right now. You may have to get almost any windows 10 dvd to fix the loader and then chain off grub or what ever you wish to do.
