Is windows installed on that SSD, or is that SSD brand new? If windows isn't installed, do you have USB boot on?

Yes when I hit ctrl alt delete to boot windows it just goes stright back to bios never had a problem like this before

A "yes" doesn't help here. I asked 3 questions. Also Ctrl + Alt + Del doesn't boot windows.

I have never seen a brand new SSD with a copy of windows pre installed unless its from a prebuilt/laptop. You need to install windows. Seeing that Crucial SSD doesn't come with windows preinstalled.

Yeah you can, if the new drive has enough space. You can also just clean install if you wanted.

Thats nice, but I don't know how big your old drive was, and how much you filled it up.

BTW, why are you using port 4 instead of 1? Anyways, this drive was working in the old PC right?

Yea it was working before any of this on my ssd it just kept saying reboot and select proper device now it just going strigh to bios

Odd, do you have your old PC still? At this point you may want to try using a Windows USB by creating one with the Windows 10 Media Creation since I usually don't recommend using Windows installs from other PCs (unless you hard reset windows)

 

You can also use the old PC to clone the HDD to the SSD if you have enough SATA cables.

Solution 1:
a) make sure all cables are connected properly.

b) Configure the Boot options/priority

c) change the ports the drives are connected to. Check your motherboard manual for priorities, always fill 1 and up just in case.

Solution 2:
a) Get a Usb drive (8gb or more)
b) go on a working computer and download and use this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=56485 to create a working usb install drive of win 10

c) plug into your new computer, use the boot menu to boot into the drive, install win10

d) profit
