Hey, I see what’s going on. You’re using a Dell Dimension E520 with an SSD and trying to boot Windows 10 64-bit from Windows 8.1 32-bit. The Windows 10 USB works fine, but you’re getting a blue screen after loading the sign. It seems like the SSD is compatible, but you’re having trouble finding the legacy mode option in BIOS. Have you checked if the SSD is properly seated or if there are any driver issues? Let me know if you need more details!

Begin by enabling AHCI. Next, record the error code displayed on the blue screen so we can address the issue effectively. Are you installing from a USB drive or using a migration tool?

You have a USB connection but can't locate ACI in the BIOS. The system isn't showing any error messages, just a normal display.

Consider starting with 32-bit installers. If the AHCI option isn't available, it might already be turned on.

When activated, there would be an alternative choice for the older version. Since it supports 64-bit compatibility, it shouldn’t face any issues starting up.

Discussing the legacy you mean? UEFI versus older methods? If yes, go with non-legacy boot.

He likely needs to enable non-legacy boot, but it isn’t listed in his BIOS. I’ve encountered this problem before—it’s tough, particularly with older boards.
