    New SSD Installed - Computer Won't Boot


    Ok so I have a new HP Pavilion Laptop 15t-eg300, 15.6". I bought a new hard drive and cloned the one from the laptop. I transferred all my files from my current computer to the new hard drive via USB. I finally replaced the old one with this one: Crucial P3 4TB PCIe Gen3 3D NAND NVMe M.2 SSD, up to 3500MB/s - CT4000P3SSD8When I turn on the computer, it says repairing PC and won't boot. Please help! If I return the hard drive it has to be by today!

    :)

    Can´t boot after installing windows 10 in a new ssd.

    Motherboard: ASRock H61M-S

    SSD: Teamgroup GX2 128gb (brand new)

    The problem started when i tried to install windows 10 in this ssd.

    To clarify the ssd itself works fine, i can download stuff to it, open files, etc.

    This is the order of what happend step by step:

    .Firstly i download the installer from microsoft to the usb.

    .Then i plugged it in and run the computer with the ssd and the usb only

    .The installer opens up so i choose language and the other things.

    .Now in the partitions section i clean everything (only ssd conected) and download there

    .No errors pop up and the pc resets as it should but i am sent to the installer instead of the windows instalation section.

    .I reset the pc and go to BIOS to check the order and i notice that the ssd doesn´t say UEFI on top so i change the order so the ssd starts first but i get a black screen with an underscore blinking so i wait and it goes directly to the windows installer.

    .I turn off the pc unplug the usb and retry only to get greeted by the connect a boot device screen.

    .I try redoing everything so i go back to the windows installer and create a new partition with the disk and install it there (removing the already created partitions)

    .Exact same issue happend as before

    .To check if theres something wrong with the USB i install Windows in a different disk (a hard drive) following the first steop of installation and worked fine.

    Is there something wrong with the ssd? Is it not compatible? Did i do something wrong? Thanks in advance.

    Unable to Boot to SSD after Windows 10 Install

    Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time read this, I will try to keep it short, but I have been struggling for a while with this and tried a lot of different things!

    Computer Info:

    • Windows 10 Home v.2004 Build 19041.450
    • AMD Ryzen 7 2700x
    • 32GB RAM
    • Aorus Ultra Gaming X470 BIOS Version F30 (I have tried updating the BIOS with continued problems, so I stayed at this version)
    • Windows currently installed on HDD Western Digital WDC WD10EZEX-22BN5A0 (this one is super old thus the attempt to transition to a new SSD)
    • I also have another HDD and SSD installed that I use for storage
    Main Problem: I am unable to get my computer to boot to my Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD after installing Windows on it from the Media Creation Tool (I have also tried Rufus which ends up the same)

    Prevailing Error Code: When I have just that SSD connected to the computer it will try to boot and give me the error message "Reboot and Select Proper Boot Device"

    The Process I have Followed:

    1. Clean/Wipe SSD using diskpart
    2. Shut down PC, disconnect power cord, hold power button
    3. Disconnect all other drives, USBs, etc.
    4. Boot to BIOS, which sees both the Media Creation Tool (MCT) and the SSD
      1. Disable CSM Support
      2. Disable Secure Boot
    5. I have tried both setting the MCT and the SSD as the 1st Boot Priority, as well as going to the Boot Order Menu, and selecting the MCT from there
    6. Once inside the Windows install, I have tried both 'New' when selecting the SSD, as well as simply hitting 'Next'. The MCT does the install no problem, but then when it says "Windows Needs to Restart to Complete the Installation" is when I have problems
      1. (interestingly the MCT only creates 3 Partitions on the SSD - does not create the 'Recovery' Partition)
    7. PC will Reboot but go right back to the MCT
    8. When I go back to the BIOS, the SSD is no longer "seen", if I simply remove the MCT flashdrive then I get the "Reboot and Select Proper Boot Device" error
    I will link forums that I have follow to the T. I have experience with computers so I do not skip steps or take shortcuts.

    Please someone help if possible! I will keep an eye on this post, and will be responding with answers as possible.

    Thanks again for your time.
