Hello, I understand your situation. You had a Samsung Samsung Series 5 ultra laptop with an HDD, so you upgraded to a 120 GB SSD. It functioned for a short time but now won't boot. When you moved it to another PC (desktop), it worked fine—even after reinstalling Windows. However, on the laptop, even after formatting and using a Windows installer USB, it still fails and reports missing files. Can you clarify if the SSD is properly seated or if there are any error messages displayed?

Did you check if the Windows startup repair was completed? Have you used a system restore to revert the system to a previous state without impacting your personal data?

I focus on practical needs. Just need a reliable laptop that works well.
