Windows 10: Fresh Win 10 Pro Build 2004 Install on New HDD 500GB and New SSD 256GB - gets glitched...

Hi, my first ever post.


Recently had a few issue with the current windows on my old 500GB hard drive. Drive is quite old 2008, had windows installed and I upgraded it over the years and now has been giving me issues. Drive scan with HD sentinel tells me it has 25 days left before it's completely out of commission.


Naturally I want to do a fresh install on a newer HDD 2016, so then I proceeded to use windows media tool to download Win Pro Build 2004 after purchasing a licence as well. Used a USB as the install device. All goes well, it installs perfectly and when I finish up the install it did an update for my graphics driver and all. So I haven't installed anything yet. I shutdown, works perfectly normal. When I restart, it gets the logo and proceeds to boot up and after the logo with busy icon it goes black then I get a sort of Glitched screen screen is sort of pixelated, rainbow colours then hangs for a about 10 seconds and restarts. This is the infinite loop boot correct?


So I use the USB as a repair drive and get to cmd prompt to use bootrec commands to make sure it boots correctly. I even use diskpart to set the actual drive to active no partitions on 500 gb yet.


That doesn't resolve the issue.


I thought maybe its to do with the SATA type of drive so then went and bought me an SSD 256GB. Guess what happens then? the exact same thing.


I even Re-downloaded the windows image and remade the bootable USB, re-fresh install.


I checked the drives with HD Sentinel, all is clear but time is running out for my current windows 23 days left and counting before my PC blows up.


Who else has had this issue and what else could I consider doing?

Any takers?

New pc build ssd and hdd

I recently finish to build my gaming system

and instead get a HDD

I choose a secondary SSD for overall performance vs a regular HDD

and the SSD have other benefits compare to a HDD.!

my primary SSD 111GB I have the OS and the game I play everyday

my secondary M2 SSD 256GB I have my backup and one more game

my primary SSD still have 37,8GB free space

my secondary SSD still have 150GB free space

why I choose an SSD for my secondary hard drive?

because the price was reasonable and plus I have a M2 SSD port on my motherboard

and I never run out for space

and obviously because the SSD is faster and doesn't produce heat like a HDD does

I used to use a 500GB HDD in my old build

and I remember when I defrag the HDD it take at least 1 hour

the SSD doesn't have to be defrag and I love it...!!!!

 

New motherboard, CPU SSD drives and fresh Win 10 Home install.

My old motherboard with Win 10 Pro (upgraded from 7) died and I just replaced it with a new motherboard, processor (AMD), new M12 SSD, new SATA SSD and fresh install of new Win 10 Home on the M12 SSD. I also have two SATA HDD drives installed from the
original configuration with all of my original installed programs. Will I have to reinstall all of the original programs or can I edit the registry to point to the HDD location and run the original programs?

 

Installing Windows 10 on a new SSD

I currently have Windows 7 64 bit installed on my old 256GB Crucial m4 SSD. I have a second 500GB 7200RPM HDD in my system installed that doesn't have anything on it. The SATA is operating as AHCI. I bought a new Samsung 500GB 850 Evo SSD the other day.
My question is, how can I install my Windows 10 on the new SSD? I want to take the old SSD out and sell it.
