Hi:
I can't help you with why the recovery media didn't work.
I would say the most likely reason the recovery image you created assuming you used the cloud recovery client utility was designed to install on the 1 TB hard drive your PC originally came with. Your replacement drive is less than half the size.
Anyway, instead of trying to clone the drive which may also bring the same or other problems, I recommend you clean install W10 using the media creation tool to create a bootable 8 GB USB flash drive.

After W10 installs, you can install the drivers and available software from your notebook's support page.
