So i build a new PC and since the first day i had problems with the SSD spiking up to 100% and freezing my pc for like 10 seconds, and after that working normaly. And i was living with it, tryed 20000 things, starting with XMP in bios, and memory stress tests and ssd tests and all that stuff. Nothing changed so i gave up after a week or so. Today it anoyed me so much i took a second SSD out of my Laptop and wanted to see if my current SSD is faulty. The Laptop SSD had windows installed so i tought just plug and play. Man was i wrong.... First i could not find in in my Bios. After 15 minutes i found it. Then in bios i only have Uefi and Uefi + Legacy boot option. So i took Uefi. Started the pc and got the "install windows" screen. Was wierd cuz i had windows installed. Then i went back in bios and set my SSD to work as Legacy and put Legacy to boot first. Worked! I got in my windows account but i had to instal gpu drivers and chipset also. Did that, wanted to play a game from my old SSD.... Wants me to download it again... Is there any way i can play those games without downloading them again ? I have like 400GB of games and i am not in the mood to download that all again. At that point i can just format my old SSD and do it all over again ...

It seems to me that your original SSD was just being overloaded with too many start-up tasks on first boot up which caused it and possibly your cpu as well to freeze up a bit after starting up. As for playing your games without having to download them again, you'll need to transfer them off the old drive UNLESS it was downloaded from the Microsoft Store, in which case you'll have to re-download.

The PC was not just freezin on startup, it was freezin in games, in chrome, in idle... Just freezes. As for the games i have on my old SSD Origin, Steam and Uplay as my "library" for games, and when opening them from the old ssd i says i need to download all games again, and when going in to the game folders itself to start the game i says THIS

You need to change the install folder location in the settings of each of those gaming library apps. Make sure the game folders are actually in the file path you define.
