    Windows not booting with SSD


    So my harddrive died on me still in warranty so I sent it back, my windows was on that harddrive. I also have an ssd I used for games. I decided to do a boot media thing so I can get windows on my SSD so I go through the process for installing windows then when it goes to boot up and ask me where I'm from, my Internet and all that it doesn't. It says please reboot and select proper boot device, even though SSD is #1 boot priority.

    You likely booting the USB flash drive in CSM mode, so Windows installed itself in that mode and now you are trying to boot the SSD in UEFI mode. Or vice versa. You need to boot the USB flash drive in the same mode that the computer will boot the SSD in, which should be UEFI more than likely.

    That's what I would do. Disable CSM mode and try re-installing.

    It will after you reinstall Windows in UEFI mode.
