Transplanting SSD with WIN11 from Lenovo Laptop to HP Laptop

[JomesBand]

Hey Guys,

 

I'm a longtime LTT-watcher but never had to use the forum, so please forgive me.

 

TL/WR: How can I make my NVMe SSD from my broken Lenovo Laptop work in a HP Laptop so I can recover my passwords instead of waiting a long time? It shows up in the BIOS but on boot-up the blue recovery screen appears with an error code "INACCESSIBLE BOOTDRIVE"... I have an USB-drive with the Win11 setup on it, but so far nothing works...

 

My Problem: I had to restore my iPhone yesterday after the iOS 26 Beta basically bricked it due to an aftermarket battery (I bought it used, so I had no idea whether or not it was OE), and the genius that I am, I didn't write down my Apple-ID password and the phone numbers apple wants me to recieve the recovery-code on, haven't been in use for years... don't ask me why. So basically all my passwords are inaccessible rn.

 

My two choices are now to wait an indefinite amount of time for Apple to reset my Account or whatever, or get the SSD out of my recently broken Lenovo Laptop (fried APU, however the f that happens after three years...) and plant it into a working HP unit so access my keychain.I thought about installing a driver for the SSD but I am not tech-savvy enough I guess...

 

PLEASE HELP

 

I can add a few pictures later as well...

self repair mode isnt safemode
you boot it into safemode and it will fix it, or at bare minimum you can access your pc from here
all your video shows is you using the startup repair thing that doesnt fix this issue, safemode does.

@OhYou_ these are all the options I can choose from… no advanced options and no startup settings…
