Hello everyone, I recently assisted a friend in setting up her first PC. Once everything was assembled and tested, we proceeded to install Windows 10. After booting, the PC started in BIOS, but there was no option to access the SSD. The SSD was detected by the BIOS, yet no boot path appeared. The issue seems to be with the boot configuration. Because of the pandemic, she’s managing everything independently, but this Sunday I’m visiting her house to check it out and try a solution. If anyone has any advice, we’d really appreciate it. Thanks for your support.

Is the SSD brand new or has it been taken from an older system? If it’s a refurbished one, you could face similar problems. Best, -a-

It's a brand new device. She purchased it some time ago to install it on her laptop, and we proceeded with the Windows setup, but it still faced the same issue. Back then, I assumed it was a BIOS problem, but now we suspect there could be an SSD-related issue.

No, we didn't format it at the start.

I noticed the installation finished, so the BIOS should recognize the hardware. However, it can’t identify a boot option—possibly due to an MBR issue or incorrect boot settings. Check if your system uses UEFI or Legacy mode.

Well... if I were you, I'd bring a Windows bootable USB and a condom just in case. JP
