When I start up my laptop it says boot device not found. I've already tried the legacy solution and it still didn't work. I then bought a 240 SSD to replace the hard drive and it still doesn't work. I ran the hard drive test and it says

 

Smart check: Passed

Short/ Long DST: Not Available.

My current version of BIOS is 1.18.0.0

 

Can anyone help in telling me what can be wrong with my laptop. Id appreciate it. Thanks.

In essence, you need to install windows on the new ssd, to do this you will need a windows 10 installation disc or USB device with a valid windows 10 serial.

 

Windows 10 installation media can be downloaded from Microsoft’s website along with instructions on their use, a license can also be purchased from their site.

DST checks do not function on ssd drives, silly question maybe, but have you loaded an operating system onto the new ssd?

@Castincaster 

Hello;
Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

 

What @Lord_Nikon asked is important because a new SSD will be blank, and without the proper Windows boot loader files, of course it will not boot.

Any idea on how to install the proper boot loader files on a Windows 10?
