    Win10 ToGo on external mSATA not boot after enclosure change


    Hello tenforums People!

    Have been using Win10 ToGo on an external USB mSATA drive for a while without any problems.
    Now I decided to put the mSATA drive in a new external USB mSATA housing since then it does not boot.
    In the beginning it did boot on 3rd or 4th attempt but since the it just stops without any error message.

    As I am using an MS SP4 the Surface Logo appears, sometimes the dots rotate, sometimes the don't even appear after like 30-60secs the activity LED on the drive housing stays constanly on and nothing at all happes, just showing the Surface text.

    Tried putting it back in the old enclosure and it works just fine.
    The drive in the new housing -in which it does not boot- works however flawlessly on a running system, now checkdisk errors.

    What is interesting in the first few attempts it did occasionally boot, lets say 2 times in 10, but now nothing.

    Any advice?

    Bitlock and TPM are switched of.
