Problems with SSDs using LGA1200 technology
Problems with SSDs using LGA1200 technology
Hi there, I'm attempting to upgrade my old Intel Azrock B75 (LGA1155) to the new 10 series LGA1200, specifically using an Asus B460M motherboard. It seems I can't make the old hard drive appear as a boot device. I've tried changing to UEFI with secure boot enabled, but the CSM option is disabled. I'm assuming I need to replace the drive with a new boot device, though it's been a while since I've worked with a PC. My current setup is an Apple device, and the original drive is a Samsung 860 Evo. I have a spare M.2 drive planned for the new system, but it lacks an M.2 slot and I don't own a case for it. Any advice on getting the old SSD to boot would be greatly appreciated.
You removed the SSD from your 1151 machine and tried to use it in the new one without any adjustments, but it’s not working properly. You mentioned you noticed this as an issue. It seems like a simple fix might be available—just reformat the drive and reinstall Windows. However, this approach isn’t ideal and could be more complicated than it looks. I’m not sure what the best alternatives are, especially since Windows 10 has many changes to consider. A more informed solution might take some time, but there are likely better options out there. I’m not familiar with the specifics of Windows 10, so it’s hard to give a precise recommendation.
I'm testing some experimental tools to boot from the old SSD, and I hope it functions.
