I’m guessing you’re trying to swap drives and end up booting Windows 7 on your primary one, even though it was originally on a secondary one. Maybe you’ve mixed up the cables—swapping SATA-0 with SATA-1 or vice versa could be the issue.
Everyone was in the right place but made sure they were seated properly. A change occurred because it launched with the blue window logo instead of the four-color flag. Now it repeatedly switches between blue error screens and self-repair attempts... it claims an hour will pass. The updated graphics card isn't connected to the SATA ports, yet it still covers them.
Navigate to the Windows troubleshooting options and check what Boot Manager reports. As @GoodBytes mentioned, it’s clear you’re running a kind of dual-boot setup with Windows 7. There are some positive aspects and drawbacks. The good part is that Windows 10 remains available; you’d need to format its partition to remove the older version. The downside is that if Boot Manager is on the HDD alongside Windows 7, altering it could cause serious issues. I ended up having to reinstall Windows 10 after other solutions failed in a similar case.
