There have been over 20 bios updates to your laptop since 2011.  It is possible that a newer bios may be needed for different types of SSD drives

Please read the instructions here to verify that the latest BIOS (or any for that matter) match the bios that you currently have

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-elitebook-8460p-notebook-pc/5056942

select win7 and 64 bit for the above url and pay attention to:

NOTE: To determine the ROM family and ROM date, press F10 on the notebook/laptop during startup to run the Setup Utility, and then view File/System Information.

Any time you do a bios upgrade there is a possibility of corrupting the bios.  

What size and model SSD did you upgrade to?  Does it have 512 bytes per sector or 4096?

Is there any reason you have not upgraded to window 10 pro?  it is still a free upgrade
