Windows 10: Problem with a new Windows 10 install on a ew SSDn

The Device: Lenovo Thinkpad carbon x1 5th gen.


The SSD: I upgraded a (compatible) from the 512 PCle ssd that came with it, to an M2 NVMe 1TB


I used a re installation USB for Windows 10 I got on Amazon (Please don't judge me, I've had bad luck downloading installation media in the past so thought I'd give this a shot, )


After 3 hours of tinkering with the bios settings I finally got it to boot from the USB drive and the installation went as it has when I've installed Windows 10 on new SSD's on former devices.


Everything looked okay EXCEPT - there was no WiFi option in Network settings. No drivers to update and nothing in the network files. Message says : "No wireless device found."


I uninstalled and reseated the and to make sure the antenna wasn't pinched or damaged, it wasn't anywhere near the SSD.


Re-started - Same thing.


I downloaded Windows Installation Media but now the laptop won't boot to the USB, the formerly installed version of Windows 10 seems to keep taking precedence.


My settings: Secure Boot - Disabled, Legacy Boot Enabled, UEFI disabled, boot order is with USB-CD at the top and USB FAA next .

When I go through Recovery within Windows 10 that's installed, there are no Advanced set up options. I tried "Start Up with a Device" and it didn't work either.


I can't install any drivers since I have no internet connection. I'm launching a HUGE complaint to Amazon about this product, although I know that this particular laptop (make that any brand of laptop, something like this seems to happen with all of them, always some idiosyncratic little glitch with "that particular model"


The new SSD IS recognized. I spoke to Lenovo, they're going to send me a copy of their installation media, but I'm not optimistic. I can't enable or access Network adapter settings to enable or change them because the file is empty.


I'm sorry for the length of this, and I appreciate and will follow just about any suggestion I haven't already tried. This job - estimated to last 7 minutes and carried a difficulty rating of "Easy for Everybody" just passed the 13 hour mark.

Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

Here

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP
