SSD Problem?

Important!!!
Did you press the DEL key when you turned the laptop on to get into the UEFI/BIOS and load Optimized Defaults and the press F10 to save it, so the laptop realizes you even have a ssd in it now ?
Once thats done you either need to do a clean install of Windows, drivers and all spftware (Best Option to use) or restore a system image/clone onto the ssd (this one isn't guarentted to work with different hardware/the new ssd).
MOST LIKELY THAT'S YOUR ISSUE, THOUGH. The laptop doesn't recognize the ssd, yet, because you didn't load Optimized Defaults in the UEFI/BIOS so it can recognize the ssd instead of the old removed hdd.
It won't boot with the ssd, because it doesn't realize it's there and is looking for the hdd you removed to bootup with.
Make sure the power cable and sata cable from the removed hdd are plugged into the new ssd. Double check the other ends of those cables to make sure they're plugged in st each cables end aand also make sure all other cables in your laptop are all still pluggged in just to play it safe. You never know when something accidently got knocked loose.

There is no cable present in these laptop's HDD. It comes with only a case that you need to slot in.

And still, even I wanted to I can't go into BIOS/UEFI once the SSD is the one on the HDD slot. If ever, I will try to boot first into HDD then set the default settings. Then try to boot on the SSD.

Thread Marked as solved.

Somehow, I managed to solve this by myself. Loaded the SSD perfectly, its just that the BIOS needs to be set to SECURE BOOT: OFF and voila! I see the "No Bootable Devices" and able to see the SSD on the Drives List, what's left for me to do is either wait for the SATA to USB and/or Caddy to arrive and I think I am good to go. Thanks for all the helps!

Appreciated it a lot. I hope if ever someone, who knows, maybe having the same problem with me find this thread and could solve the problem too. Thanks TenForums!
