Hi Johan,

It is possible that your
HDD was unreadable
causing the error message to appear. We recommend that you perform these troubleshooting steps and check if there are any changes:

• 
  Shutdown
  your
  PC.
  
• 
  Unhooked
  the
  HDD
  and
  turn on
  your
  PC.
  
• 
  Reconnect
  your
  HDD
  and
  restart
  your
  PC.
  

If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
laptop/computer's manufacturer
for further assistance.

Update us on how it goes.

Regards.

 

A tale of swapping SSD and HDD between laptops

So, i created another question thread as it was solved previously

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...essageId=23142eb3-8cdf-41a6-9406-c8d50a8fdea1

The situation was

SSD (Windows 10 Pro genuine retail license that I installed personally) in 2009 Asus Laptop (legacy BIOS) swapped to 2016 HP Laptop.

HDD (windows 10 home OEM, comes with laptop) in 2016 HP Laptop swapped to 2009 Asus laptop.

Problem with 2009 Asus laptop now with the HDD is

1. It doesnt want to boot Windows. It just shows "_"

Problem with 2016 HP laptop now with the SSD are

1. It is bootable when BIOS set to legacy

2. Over time, there is a notice telling me to activate my windows and it found a different license key

What should I do to make it work?
