Hello there, assistance is needed.
My computer functioned normally yesterday with no issues, neither system nor program-related. It went to sleep and came back the next day after shutdown. I didn’t notice anything unusual since power outages happen occasionally.
I transferred some movies and games from my friend’s SSD, but this wasn’t the first time I did so—the machine worked well before then (he never shared it with anyone). Also, I used a SATA to USB adapter for data transfer.

There was a Windows update before I attempted to uninstall it via the installation window, but it triggered an error. The only new software I downloaded was Visual Studio 2022; there were no torrents, games, or browser downloads.

System details:
- Windows 11 Version 10.0.22621.2861
- CPU: Ryzen 5 7500f
- GPU: RTX 3070TI msi ventus
- Motherboard: Asus TUF GAMING B650M-E WIFI
- 2 HDDs 500gb
- SSD: Crucial MX500 1TB
- BIOS: Version 3040 (latest)
It has been about 6 to 7 months since I owned this PC.

Take out the SSD from your friend's system and attempt to start it. Adjust the boot priority to either the Windows Boot Manager or the boot drive.

I just got what I wanted and cut it off. It's not on my rig anymore.
Sorry I didn't explain that clearly.
Yes, I set the boot priority for Windows boot manager, and immediately after it is the boot drive.
