On the 10th boot, the system failed to start on the incorrect drive.
Hello, friends. I think I’m facing a strange issue (not in English). I want to give my old 120GB SSD to a friend, but I can’t delete the old Windows 10 files even though it’s not my OS drive—it was actually on my main PC. My main drive is a 500GB NVMe, but without the 120GB SSD, the BIOS doesn’t recognize any OS. When I turn off the NVMe in BIOS and boot from the SSD, the NVMe still appears as a boot driver. I need to completely remove the 120GB SSD, but it won’t boot without it. Someone might know how to combine the data or fix this? Thanks, House.
I've tested all possible setups: SSD with main boot, NVME with main boot, both together, and none of them.
Windows has placed the bootloader/MBR on the SSD. You must set up a fresh one on your NVMe drive. Refer to the guidance in this article: https://www.tenforums.com/installation-u...post698505
Sure, I get it. You're trying to start the setup process by booting from the Windows installation media. Does that involve turning off the computer and then using the installer on a USB drive?
Turn off your PC and plug in the USB with the Win10 installation disk. If needed, enter BIOS and configure the USB as the primary boot device. Once the installer displays "Install Now," press SHIFT+F10 to open the command prompt and follow the linked instructions.
