Problem with the boot drive not starting up.
Problem with the boot drive not starting up.
You had two computers and wanted to upgrade to a fresh setup. You found an old USB hard drive and attempted to install Windows 10, but it wouldn't recognize the drive as a bootable unit. You replaced it with a new internal 1TB drive and installed Windows again, still facing issues. Eventually, you discovered that your primary HDD on the secondary PC wasn’t being detected, suggesting compatibility problems between outdated hardware and newer drives. After several attempts, you realized you needed more reliable support.
You have a USB with Windows 10 boot media, you boot it and select the drive to format and install Windows. Once done, it doesn’t start up in Windows. Have you considered changing the BIOS settings to prioritize the USB drive as the first boot option?
