It started with this blue screen of death thing.

And I decided to install new windows because it doesn't stay on for long when I put it on.

So I tried installing new windows and when I got to the part I have to select the disk, it was saying I can't install windows on the selected disk.

I tried formatting it several times but the disk fails to format.

I even tried resetting the machine but that won't work either.

I've now installed a new M2 ssd and after installing windows, it'll boot back to the eMMC.

Tried to change the boot order but the ssd isn't showing there too.

Kindly help me out.

 

I think the problem is with the storage.

What is your machine ? Does it actually have a spare M.2 slot for storage ?

It does NOT support dual storage, you have to remove the eMMC drive to force it to boot from the M.2 slot.
