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.

 

Can`t Upgrade 32-bit to 64-bit Windows 10

I tried upgrading my notebook/tablet pc from 32-bit to 64-bit windows 10. But it won`t boot from my usb. I checked if its compatible and followed the steps, but I didn`t get the windows "install now" option.

 

New ssd won't boot up without old ssd attached to pc - new ssd only has one partition

Only the old ssd is listed in the boot order as the new ssd doesn't have an MBR partition.

The pc recognizes both devices as connected (and I use the new ssd for more than a year with windows installed on it) it just doesn't have the necessary partition for booting up, thats why the ssd doesn't show up as an option in the boot order.
