Hey there, welcome! I see you're new around here. Let's clarify what happened with your PC setup. You installed Windows 10 on a new HDD that was already formatted for a game library, but when the SSD arrived it caused big stability problems. After switching back to the old installation, everything worked fine. Later, you tried a different drive and still faced issues. It sounds like the old Windows files might have been interfering with your system. Could be worth checking for lingering files or corruption.

I would perform a fresh installation on the SSD and then format the HDD.

I'll try it once I've saved my Steam library.

Recommend disconnecting your HDD while setting up your chosen operating system. Also, turn off the feature that allows booting from the HDD in your BIOS.
