Not when installed from standard OR UEFI (-> GPT partitioning) Windows installation DVD or USB stick, BIOS set appropriately for each.Īnd not when cloned from a working Win 10 HDD created on the HP laptop (and yes, disconnected before booting from the cloned SSD). UEFI) enabled OR disabled in the skimpy BIOS. Windows scrambled around adapting to the very different environment, loading drivers like mad, then ran fine.īut the SSD has never yet gotten to Win 10 ( or Win 7) login when installed in the HP laptop I want it in: the SSD worked fine with an MBR Win10 installation done on the HP laptop, then installed temporarily to replace the (MBR) boot SSD in my desktop system.
(It passes Kingston's and all other drive tests when attached to other systems.) Am I missing a step, or is there something about this hardware/BIOS that just doesn't like SSDs?Ĭlick to expand.Umm, no. In frustration I got another laptop HDD and successfully installed Win 10, then cloned that to the SSD via a USB->SATA cable (don't have an internal cable for the second bay) - and when I put the SSD in as the only drive, it still won't boot, saying either that there's no OS or that it's failing SMART. (I cleared all partitions between each attempt, and have tried both "legacy mode" settings.). I've added SSDs to several desktop systems with no trouble, so I put in a new Kingston 240GB SSD - and can't get to login with either Win10 *or* Win7 installation from DVD or USB, usually BSODing after the first restart with complaints about winload.efi or wlnload.exe. It had run the OEM Win 7 fine, upgraded to Win 10 fine, reinstalled Win 10 clean from other media fine. HP Pavilion M7-1015dx, 2012 vintage, InsydeH20 BIOS (see pix) with no explicit setting for SATA mode, only the legacy mode choice for UEFI/CSM.
