Hi, I see the issue you're facing. It looks like your old SSD with Windows remains active after installing a new system. You might need to reset the recovery partitions or wipe them before proceeding. Check the installation options for your new drive and ensure it's properly recognized. If needed, you can use tools like DiskPart or GParted to manage the partitions. Let me know if you'd like more details!
Disconnecting the previous SSD and executing the startup troubleshooting on the installation media could resolve the issue. If that doesn't work, reinstall using the removed SSD.
Use the troubleshooter with a Windows install USB and select Repair over Install
Your new SSD lacks a Windows bootloader, which is why you can't boot directly from it without the previous SSD connected. If repairs fail, you'll need to manually set up a fresh boot partition on your existing SSD using Windows installation media. As detailed here, only connect your new SSD during partition creation. Updated note: Changed old to new.
Thank you, I attempted this again but it still doesn’t identify your SSD as a Windows setup. I’ll try once more.
