You've recently upgraded your CPU and motherboard, but your old hard drive isn't working anymore. When using it, you're encountering issues accessing your PC. After trying Windows Boot Manager, you're seeing a blue screen and rebooting to SATA1. Your system is likely failing to recognize the new hardware. Make sure your BIOS is set to use the correct SATA port and that the drive is properly seated. If problems persist, check for firmware updates or consult a technician.

Switching the motherboard alters the entire system. Windows may struggle to recognize the previous setup. Will it respond?

I mean the part after the verb, such as "by post" or "in post."

Post involves accessing BIOS settings. Press the power button and hold a key like Delete or F11 immediately after. The exact steps differ by motherboard model. You can perform this without a hard drive. The part at the end labeled "os" refers to the operating system.

I managed to enter the BIOS, but I’m still stuck on the reboot error or the blue screen.

Occasionally you can restart a working Windows setup on another machine, though it might not behave well in this case. The most reliable option is to either reinstall Windows on a different storage device than the old one, or revert to your previous hardware and back up your data before installing Windows with a new motherboard.
