Previously Working PC Not Booting into Windows

Last night, my PC worked fine but to turn it off I turned off the power as my PC wasnt shutting down for some reason.

 

Today I turned on my PC and it went to the "Please insert Boot device" screen.

I go into the BIOS change my boot order to Legacy + UEFI, with my SSD being first, see if that will help.

 

Boot again, same screen again.

 

I remove all my other drives to see if that helps and then overide the boot order to start with my SSD, again "Please insert Boot Device"

 

Honestly cant think of why it has done this, I have a surge protector so Im pretty sure me turning didnt fry my SSD.

 

It had Windows 10 home 64bit but it seems like its been wiped somehow.

 

Any ideas?

The reason people are asking to try install windows then booting on a different drive because this sounds like a drive failure, or windows being corrupted, and to narrow down the issue.

 

Do you have a usb and another computer/laptop or have a friend/family member who has these.

This should take you to a windows media creation tool which you can then use it to create a windows 10 installation.

 

With this you can try using it to boot to windows repair tool to see if it fixes your current drive or use it to install windows onto a new dive,

If you have any data you want to recover from that SSD, I wouldnt reinstall windows on the SSD as it will delete the data on it.

Make a live linux USB drive with Ubuntu on using another PC and boot that, then we can help you see if your SSD even appears at all.
