    Adding a hard drive to my windows 10 desktop pc


    I just received my new rebuilt desktop pc and after I got it setup I needed to install a hard drive from my old pc and after I connected it to the motherboard and the power cable the Pc would not boot, I then removed the hard drive and the pc still would not boot and I had to change the boot order to get it to boot, what could cause this to happen?? I have been able to install extra hard drives in my old windows 10 pc and never had this happen, Please help , Thank you in advance

    Windowed Hard Drives

    On the contrary, showing off "slow tech" by adding a window to a hard drive is a "dumb" idea. Do you really want to be showing off a whole "7200-10000 RPM of power" or would you rather show off a plain SSD drive? (If you really desire to "show off")

    Adding any window to any drive is just stupid. I just suggested an easier option for you since manufactures don't put windows on the latest hard drives.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
