Help: Stuck in data hell with upgrading an old HP Pavilion 550 with an SSD

Hi all, 

 

This is one of my hail Mary's at the moment, as i am trying to upgrade my Dad's PC, we brought an SSD i migrated all the data and backed it up to my external drive. 

 

So this morning I had run the checks and thought i had set the boot drive to the SSD (i didn't) so when i wiped the hard drive it just crashed on me, obviously. SO now after a couple of hours of messing around and trying fixes, i have a HDD with a new installation of windows and SSD with all my data on it. And no data management tool seems to let me move the SSD data to the HDD so i can go back to square one almost. 


Any help would be massively appreciated 

 

Oli

have you changed your bios setting vom IDE to AHCI? 

 

why not just unplug the HDD and install w10 on your SSD, plug in your hdd change your boot priority and tada
