The PC doesn't start properly once an SSD is installed.

He added an SSD to his old laptop and noticed Windows repeatedly tried to restart during startup. The BIOS works normally, but the system keeps entering repair mode. It seems the new drive isn’t compatible or causing issues. This happened even when he removed it, possibly due to the NVMe interface or specific GPU configuration.

You're planning to boot from the SSD, so reinstall Windows and ensure the SSD is wiped clean.

He saved it as extra space, waited an hour, then restarted and it worked again. He took it out and it functioned the same. It’s unclear exactly what caused such severe corruption in Windows.

I believe restarting Windows would be the most secure choice, though you might want to attempt letting it resolve the issue before doing so

Yes, the correct installation is confirmed. The system remains configured with the intended boot drive.

We need a system with active hardware. The suggestion to verify in BIOS seems reasonable despite the user’s assurance it’s working. It’s possible the new drive disrupted the Windows setup on the other side, unless the BIOS keeps selecting an alternative boot method that Windows attempts but doesn’t succeed.

Yes, it's possible even with just a single drive in the system.

It might have been. You should double-check everything since a small adjustment could have occurred. Were there any additional modifications in the BIOS, such as switching from AHCI to IDE?

I thought he might be able to access Windows just before it entered recovery mode.
