"Reboot and select proper boot device"

[Mark Rutzu]

Hi, 2 weeks ago i built my new computer, i instaled W10 on a brand new SSD. Today i swaped my stock cpu cooler for a watercooling system but when i rebooted the pc i got this message. I looked up on the internet for answers and going on the bios changing boot sequence and other doesn't work for me. At the moment i don't want to spend the rest of the week-end to try to find solutions that won't work so i'm asking you how can i retrive my important files on my actual ssd and then re-intal Windows on it ?

You would have to have a nother computer kicking around that you could install the SSD into, and if all you have is a laptop you can buy a SATA to USB, plug it in like you would an external hard drive and retrieve your files as necessary

You would have to contact windows support and explain the situation IIRC. They should be able to help you out. I havent had to activate windows in years so i'm not familiar with that process.
