Hello everyone, I just upgraded my CPU, motherboard, RAM, and cooler. When I try to boot, the BIOS recognizes the drives but doesn’t show any valid options. My 240GB drive has Fedora 36 installed, and the 500GB drive is set up with Windows 10. I’ve booted from both yesterday, so the installations should work. Both disks are SATA. My previous system used a Z97-based board, while my new one uses the H610M-A chipset (motherboard: Asus Prime H610M-A Wifi D4). I checked the partitions using a live Fedora USB and everything looks good. Any advice on how to activate them?

I noticed this response. It seems there might be some confusion. Both drives being MBR doesn't necessarily mean they need a GPT. Check your system requirements carefully.

I resolved the problem by enabling CSM modules in the BIOS. The Fedora installation worked after that. My attempt to convert it to GPT ended up breaking everything.

The operating system you have installed is set up for Legacy mode, while your new computer uses UEFI. You should check if your board supports Legacy or CSM. If not, you might need to perform a UEFI conversion of Windows. This process can be complex. Alternatively, consider a fresh Windows installation, which may be the simplest solution given the hardware changes and potential driver issues.

CSM (Compatibility Support Module) creates an imitation of the previous BIOS, catering to older devices that can't run on current systems. Activating this feature prevents Windows 11 and subsequent versions from being supported on your machine.
