    Replaced HDD with SDD, installed Win 10 and now I can't even get the boot screen.


    Hi, there! I hope you can help me with this, I don't know what else to do :.



    Base case: Laptop with default config: HDD + Win10 working perfectly. I wanted to add an SSD and install the OS there and keep the HDD for data storage.



    I'll try to be short:

    - Installed SSD + HDD, got Black Screen and couldn't even get the boot menu.. just LED backlight. Took out the SSD, everything normal.

    - Took out HDD and installed SDD again, got BIOS menu, it didn't recognize the USB stick with WIN10 installer.

    - Disabled Safe Boot. Re-created the USB WIN10 installer to be GPT partitioned and be recognized by the UEFI boot option there is no Legacy on the Boot menu.

    - Installed Win10 perfectly on the SSD.

    - Connected again the HDD Win 10 installed there, nothing erased [maybe my bad here]. When starting the computer: Black Screen again.

    - Disconnected SSD, booted WIN10 installer through the USB stick, formatted the HDD.

    - Connected HDD+ SSD = Black screen.



    Situation now:

    - HDD + SSD = Black Screen.

    - SSD = Black Screen. How? Why? How can I access the SSD now??

    - HDD = Bios Screen.

    +

    When restarting with WIN key + B, The screen shows a text indicating the BIOS maybe corrupted and recomends re-installing it through a USB stick, downloading the latest one from an HP website.



    Additional data:

    - Notebook: brand new HP 250 G7

    - SSD: XPG SX6000 lite 128 GB



    I'm willing to try anything.

    Thanks.

    P.S: Images from the boot menu: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1C7rqm8nQ-NZkfNlUHEkySewSPvLVmdJG?usp=sharing

    Update: Tried the SDD on another laptop and Win10 boots perfectly.

    :)

  2. SDD and a HDD windows 10

    I have Windows 10 installed on a 525gb SDD. I have a 1tb HDD that I'm using for my data. I've been reading a lot of conflicting tweaks to use on the SDD. Help!

    1. Should I eliminate the swap on the SDD? I do a have a windows managed swap file on the HDD.

    2. Should I turn off indexing on the SDD?

    3. Should I turn off system restore on the SDD?

    Most of the articles I've been reading have been a couple of years old. I know that the current SDDs are better but do these same tweaks apply now?

    Any info and suggestions are appreciated.

    Thanks

    Replaced HDD with SDD, installed Win 10 and now I can't even get the boot screen.

    Win.10 won't boot after installing Win.7

    Hi,

    So i installed Win.10 via the UEFI and after installing Win.7 on Legacy Mode onto a different HDD i can't boot into Win.10 (I believe can only because Win.10 was installed via UEFI)

    I tried installing the BCD Software but nope. I even tried to select my HDD but say Winload.exe error

    Even tried going into the USB and try repairing but the same thing happens
