I've encountered similar discussions, consulted friends and family, and checked a post here. My approach is to install a new NVMe 2 drive and run Windows 10 fresh, inserting it only after the splash screen to test if the system boots. If that fails, I might need to bring the machine to a repair shop for diagnosis.

I suspect the SSD that initially launched the OS might have become corrupted or failed after a restart, preventing Windows from starting. I've accessed the BIOS and tried various methods—switching between legacy modes, resetting the CMOS, and even removing SSDs in random order—but the OS still doesn't detect it.

My rig uses an older system with both SSD and HDD, both around ten years old. My uncle thinks the issue could be the motherboard, but I'm not sure and don't want to risk replacing it. The system is showing all information, yet still failing to boot. The tech at my local repair agrees, suggesting the SSD might be faulty and the boot loader corrupted.

Legacy settings require the motherboard to operate in full BIOS mode. Enabling UEFI will prevent booting. The Windows setup should recognize existing drives and previous installations if they remain functional. It might even provide repair or upgrade options. Be sure to connect only the drive you’re certain is free of critical information, since data could be lost during the process.
