Hello everyone, I just received my new M.2 SATA Pro B760 and am trying to switch the boot drive to an SSD, but it’s telling me it isn’t supported. Should I upgrade to an NVMe drive or reset everything? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I can't post images directly. Could you share the error message text here? I'll help you with anything else you need.

Is there anything stored inside the SSD? Have you set up Windows yet?

It's difficult to pinpoint the exact problem because there isn't a screenshot of the precise error. Do you know if your Windows license is an OEM version? OEM licenses are linked to specific hardware like your motherboard. Because you've swapped out your motherboard, your original OEM license won't be valid. If you still have a retail license, it might cause issues, but you can transfer it to your new PC (or essentially a new motherboard). This guide could be useful if that's the situation: may not need to buy a new Windows key.

The SSD already has a window on it. @MeFor3 I own the OEM license for Windows. When I start the PC, it jumps straight to BIOS and then I can access the drive, but it keeps saying it's not supported.

The question might relate to CSM. If the boot drive uses MBR or legacy formatting instead of GPT, the user would likely need that functionality.
