Windows 10: Cant load windows, broken ssd?

.

Hello so i have a dell inspiron 5680, with 128gb ssd and 2tb hdd. I wanted to upgrade my sdd to a quicker/larger one.



I copied my files from my files from my ssd including the windows folder onto the hdd thinkin that i would be able to put my new ssd into the pc and load windows up from my hdd.



I rushed into doing it without researching and i realise now this isnt how it works and windows isnt installed on the hdd because i couldnt get it to load. I know im stupid.



Ive put my old ssd back in and i get the msg ‘checking media presence, no media found’ or it just goes into dell support assist.



After googling people said to go into the BIOS and select windows boot up to the first option, done that saved it and restarted but it dosent save it and just restarts back into dell support assist.



Dont know what to do now, im guessin the old ssd is just broke somehow.



Do i need to put windows onto a usb and do a fresh install then everything will be ok to transfer my files from my hdd?

:)

 

Windows 10 SSD Boot and Sleep faliure

Windows cannot stop the BIOS recognising the SSD. If at any time you can go into the BIOS and the SSD is not listed then you have an (intermittent) hardware fault. It does not matter what the precursor steps are if the hardware was OK it must be listed

Step 6 is categorical, you have a hardware fault. BIOS device recognition is always before drivers load so they cannot affect the process

 

geforce experience takes an age to load..

Well that's why I asked. Mine is on SSD and takes 11 seconds. Your list of games will not appear if it has not checkd for updated suggested settings for awhile until it checks.

When it says it is refreshing the game list, it is checking, because NVIDIA periodically updates suggested settings. Plus it will look for those for new games you have installed.

So, the less it is run, the slower it will be.

 

advises ssd or keep hdd??

with SSD you get faster windows startup, faster gaming levels loading...

I suggest go with SSD !!

SSD are not so reliable for storage but for OS they are perfect.
