Windows 10 isn't starting properly.
But perhaps after the initial startup on your previous operating system, you set that M.2 drive as the main boot device. I'm just reviewing all possibilities. Would you like me to try using GParted? In my opinion, the best way is to install the OS from another machine, delete all partitions except the system one, and let the installation disk rebuild them by adjusting the boot sequence. This approach might work since Windows could recognize both drives, generate a boot partition on the eMMC, and your system partition remain on the M.2 drive. It seems likely your laptop won't start from the SSD or won't identify it as a boot device. For more details, you can check: https://www.easeus.com/partition-master/...0-8-7.html Method 2 - It involves restoring the EFI partition and relocating it to the same drive as your system. In your situation, creating an EFI partition on the eMMC and pointing the boot drive to the SSD could help. After that, your boot partition will appear on the eMMC and your system will load from the M.2 drive. I'm here to help you through this process, so maybe it's time to revise your previous comments.
