Awhile back I installed an SSD into my new machine and brought over the old hard drive to get data off, both have windows 10, now I've upgraded yet again with a new nvme SSD to replace the old hard drive that previously had been the main boot drive since it had games, but when I unplugged it, the PC wouldn't boot, plugging it back in fixes it, but it has nothing in user folder and all the user files were on the older SSD, I googled it and tried using this older fourm https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-change-bootable-partition/907c92bc-67ff-469c-8cd9-73e86f647de0 , I went to disk management and set the older SSD as active and restarted, now even with the hard drive plugged in it doesn't recognize any boot drive
The pc was running windows 10, it was up to date
Asus B450, ryzen 5 3600 5600xt, 16gb ram

I feel like a dumba** rn, because switching boards with similar issue i didnt think to download ASRocks included LAN drivers, this fixed the issue but doesnt explain why my previous mobo also had it idk, but installing offical ASRock software instead of whatever windows had fixed it

it might take me a bit to move a small setup into the small room where my modem is, so it might take a bit before i get back to you with the results, the electricians that did it, did seem a little dodgy to me

so, keep the xfinity modem plugged in, and plug in ethernet from the xfinity modem to the netgear one?
