I tried a new sata cable, different port. Both didn't work. It wouldn't show up at all so I just went out and bought a new samsung ssd and it works perfectly now. Everything is running perfectly after I changed ssds.

Also, the SSD sata cable is connected to the #1 slot on the motherboard. And also I have a Gigabyte AB350M Gaming 3 motherboard, if that's any help.

Seems like I just keep getting problems one after another. So, yesterday I was on my new pc just chilling while league of legends was downloading. Then all of a sudden the screen went dark and said that there was os detected, which I did use a activation key for so it should work, and then now my SSD is not being detected in my bios. I only see my HDD but there's nothing on there except for some downloads before the pc went bamboozle. Yes the sata cables are plugged in all the way in, I had it as my boot #1. When I started up my pc just like 40 minutes ago it was fine. So I thought okay it's okay now? So I continued my download of league of legends and then boom!! "OS Not Detected". I restarted my pc went into bios and SSD is missing. Seems like something is wrong with my SSD. Not sure though, what do you guys think? And yes I updated the motherboard bios and updated my gpu drivers. Please send help.

so much to do in 1 day. Even my discord is bugging out...

Well in my bios my ssd is boot #1....sorry im a noob obviously.

yup

Now none of my apps are opening.....

When i click links, nothing happens.

After i did that, i'm not able to web search anymore....

So you're saying to wipe the hard drive? If so, how do you do that?

I just did a clean install of windows 10 onto my new ssd and I had winsows on my hdd already and it's still there. Do I delete the files of it on my hdd or do I just leave it? It won't do anything right?

I don't have one for my pc right now but it runs just fine lol. I have the extra that my friend gave me for when I use the SSD so then I can just put in that key.

Yeah I have.

Yeah it's the one I'm currently using right now. When I go into the settings and look at the "windows activation key" for this pc it's not there. It says I need to put in a key for it but I haven't done so. Let's just say I messed up on something that made that happen.

but the problem is that I don't have the windows key that I have on my pc right now. I bought my pc from a friend and yeah, that key is long gone somewhere

So I don't use rufus for this? @Revamp

Also, after I download windows media tool, I save the Iso file onto my hard drive and then use rufus to burn it onto the usb right?

So it'll automatically save into my ssd since it's it's the only one plugged in?

.

@Revamp @Zmax Sorry if I'm asking too many questions... So 1) Download Windows Media Tool 2) Get the Windows Iso file 3) Put it into USB stick 4) Turn off PC, remove power cord, hold power button for 5 secs, unplug HDD 5) Plug in SSD, power cord and USB 6) In BIOS boot with the USB because it has the windows Iso file 7) Put in Key when it asks 8) Windows should go straight into the SSD (I'm assuming) Or am I wrong?

@Revamp @Thunderzzu If I were to get a new windows disk and use it, what would happen to the windows that's currently on my hard drive?

Damn, I'l need to go grab a windows disk then.

I just bought a new 120gb ssd, I know it's not a lot but it's what I can afford, and I'm planning to have it as my first boot for windows. Can anyone help me with the steps and such on how to do this? I already have windows 10 on my HDD and want to move it to my SSD if that's possible. If not, my friend gave me a windows key. I know that I can put my windows into a USB stick and plug it in when I do the transfer, but I want to know the steps. I don't want to mess anything up.

Thank you for the help!! <3
