Hi @Abdul131,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

Thanks for sharing that. I know how frustrating it can be when your HP laptop doesn’t boot after a storage upgrade. Let’s walk through the most likely causes and how to fix them.

1. Check BIOS for Drive Detection

• Turn on the laptop and press Esc, then F10 to enter BIOS.
• Go to Storage or System Information.
• Make sure the new drive is listed. If not:
  • Power off, open the laptop, and re-seat the drive.
  • Ensure connectors are clean and properly aligned.

2. Check Boot Order

• In BIOS, go to Boot Options.
• Make sure the new drive is set as the first boot device.
• If you're using a USB to install Windows, set the USB as the first boot device temporarily.

3. Install Windows on New Drive

If the drive is blank:

• Use another PC to create a Windows 10 installation USB via HP Consumer PCs - Using the HP Cloud Recovery Tool in Windows 11 and 10 | HP® Support.
• Plug it into your HP laptop.
• Boot from 32gb USB (press Esc, then F9 to select boot device).
• Follow the prompts to install Windows.

4. Disable Secure Boot (if needed)

• In BIOS, go to Security > Secure Boot Configuration.
• Disable Secure Boot if the installer doesn’t load.
• Enable Legacy Boot if your drive uses MBR instead of GPT.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
