Hello.
I got a new SSD but I have some problems installing it.
I disconnected the old HDD, pluged the SSD as usual, but when I start my computer... nothing happens. Not even the BIOS loads.
Switching back to the old HDD makes everything work as usual.
Anyone have any idea what could it be?

    Is the HHD you are replacing your primary drive? If so, then you have load windows and all the primary drivers onto the SSD first, then migrate the rest of the data.

    It should still post whether or not there's data on the drive. Check to see if your motherboard has a newer BIOS.

    ASUS Prime Z690-A
    Corsair 850W RM850x

    EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 ULTRA GAMING

    Maybe format the ssd while in the OS of the old drive then assign it as the primary drive and boot up. Maybe it doesnt have a MBR

    Do you get a bios when you have no hard drive loaded? It might need to have the bios reset. Also any chance of having Optaine memory installed?

    It’s been 6 days and no reply. Hopefully the user returns, but at this point, either they figured it out with the power of google or their laptop or phone battery is dead and they can’t past captcha on another device.
