Hi, I see your issue. The laptop freezes during startup in Windows, and you're trying to format it without losing data. You're using a USB 3.0 to SATA converter to move the SSD to another machine, but the PC freezes when you try to boot it again. There might be a problem with the drive or the formatting process itself. Consider checking the SSD connection, ensuring it's properly seated, and trying a different USB port. If the problem persists, you may need to back up important data before proceeding with the format.
It might be due to a driver issue. Try removing the incorrect driver. Open Start, go to Device Manager, and press Enter. Locate the device causing the problem—like a graphics card under Display Adapters—and double-click it. Click Properties, then select the Driver tab. Choose the Roll Back Driver option. A confirmation dialog will appear; click Yes to start reverting to an earlier version.
