I finally got the new the SSD and had a super easy windows install... I was not confident enough in my abilities to be able to blame the SSD, so thanks again for your help!

I suppose I will try to convince the store I bought it from that there is something wrong. Thanks a lot for your help!

It is a few months old and I bought it new. But is it even possible that the SSD is good enough to use as an extra drive (next to os drive), but not as a boot drive?

I have actually tried this on my old motherboard with a different bootable USB and I had the exact same issue. I did not change any settings in the windows install, but I don't believe there were any. But I could remake that USB anyway. (I actually bouht the SSD first and then the rest of my new pc)

I did all of that, and nothing changed except one thing (or I didn't notice it before). I couldn't install windows on the SSD when I had CSM enabled in the BIOS, so I disabled it. When I enable it again after the installation, though, I do get the ssd as a boot option. Buuuuut, then I boot from the SSD and my screen reads "Reboot and select a proper Boot device". Does this mean anything? And should I have CSM enabled or disabled, anyway?

Hello, I am building a new pc with a Ryzen 2600, ASRock B450m pro4 (with UEFI version P3.30) and Crucial MX500 2,5" SSD. I installed windows 10 on the SSD wih a USB install medium. The installation went fine and the windows files are definitely on the SSD (I used GPT if that's relevant). However the only boot option my motherboard sees is the USB (or nothing if it's not plugged in). It's not that my mobo doesn't detect the SSD at all, because it is available under the security tab to configure a password etc. When I connect the HDD from my old pc, it can boot windows from that. I can also use the SSD in that windows install. I even tried my old motherboard, which gives the same results. I can't find any other options to try in the BIOS and I looked at a lot of other forums, but didn't find a fix. I'm at a loss what to do next. Any ideas are welcome. Rein

I recently built a desktop after only using a laptop for a few years. I wanted to transfer some files and figured the fastest way would be to connect my laptop's hard drive to the desktop. After clicking some admin "proceed" button I was indeed able to access my files (to be clear I did not modify any files while connected to my desktop, just copy). However when I put the drive back in my laptop, problems arose... My autohotkey scripts don't work anymore, firefox can only startup when I run it as admin, chrome and some other programs don't start up at all and some files are just inaccesible from my laptop now. Other than I needed admin rights to access even my downloads folder (also appdata and many more). Anyway, me and my friend concluded that I, on my desktop, took permissions away from myself (?), and may have tranferred the ownership of my files (not sure how that works exactly). I have a already tried some things including a system restore, which failed, and I now don't really know what to do next or where to look for other options. Hence this forum post. Is there any way to give permission for accessing all files at once? Some way to tranfer back the file ownership (or whatever it is)? Any help would be greatly appreciated! By the way I'm on the latest version of windows 10 and my laptop is the Asus GL552VW, the boot drive of which is the drive in question.
