Windows 10: Cannot fully boot Windows 10 from a newly installed SSD (WD Green) on my ProBook 470 G3

Hello! Not sure if this is a Windows or a HP problem, so I decided to post at both support communities.

I have installed an SSD (WD Green M.2 2280 240 GB) into my HP ProBook 470 G3, successfully cloned the OS hard drive (119 GB) to SSD by using Acronis True Image WD Edition, and selected SSD as the first boot disk (both UEFI and Legacy) in BIOS. And it DOES boot the Windows 10 from SSD (shows the Windows 10 logo and loading sign), but after it there is a blank screen with mouse cursor showing that something is supposedly going on, but it stays like that forever.


It can still boot normally from HDD when I restore it to the first position in the boot order. Is there any solution other than a clean Windows install on the SSD? I wanted to avoid that to save a lot of time that reinstalling all the programs would take. What should I do? Thank you!

Here you can see in the video how that ongoing blank screen (AFTER Win 10 logo appears) looks like: https://imgur.com/a/pbbp7Cy

SSD for Probook 430 G3

Hi
My Probook 430 G3 have a free M.2 slot.




But I don't know what M.2 SSD fit with it. M.2 Sata or M.2 PCI-E. M key or M+B key.

Help me plz.

p/s: All M-key is M.2 PCI-Ex. Is it right? All M.2 PCI-E I know use an M-key connector.

Thanks
