I'm running a Ryzen 7 2700X with TUF B450M plus a gaming CPU of 3000MHZ. It includes a Trident Z RGB Samsung 1TB SATA HDD, an Xfinity Blower, and an X570 SSD with 120GB capacity.

Did it formerly function as a bootable unit? Is there an operating system installed there?

I removed it from my previous computer and transferred it to the new one without reinstalling Windows (I didn’t want to reinstall on it) @Windows7ge

The process relies on the specific key used for activation. It's best to connect your key to a Microsoft account before transferring a drive to a new PC to prevent Windows from disabling the installation. I don't have your BIOS details, but in the Boot menu there should be an option labeled (similar to) HDD Priority—your SSD should appear there. Have you also explored the boot override menu (typically accessed with F10 or F11)?

I didn't use that menu before, and would the issue be resolved by turning on Windows 7?

It might take you to restart Windows again if you try to fix the problem. As I said earlier, linking your Windows Key to a Microsoft account is usually advised. Upgrading to a new SSD on a fresh system is much easier.

I assumed it was resolved since I performed a fresh installation instead of using the upgrade path. @Windows7ge
