15-f033wm not seeing new SSD drive, no boot option

[Kusaywa]

Upgrading the hard drive on my 15-f033wm to an SSD. I installed the SSD fine but it keeps booting to a no bootable drive screen. I even installed Windows 10 from another PC on the drive and it won't boot. I don't even get the option to choose my Windows 10 install USB. I even reinstalled the old hard drive to make sure I didn't screw anything up and that was OK. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You said you "installed Windows from another PC" onto the drive now in this laptop.  That will NOT work -- the difference in hardware and drivers will prevent this Windows install from working properly.  You can't just migrate Windows this way.  Plus, if the other PC was one you bought, this is a license violation as each copy is tied to the original PC.

I originally attempted the install with the drive right out of the box. Nothing. I then formatted the drive (NTFS). Nothing. I then installed Windows 10 on it. Nothing. I'm not even getting boot options. I never encountered this before and I've upgraded a few PC's and laptops to SSD.

Hi, @Kusaywa 

When you have the W10 install media in the USB port, did you try the using the F9 boot options menu to see if the flash drive shows up that way?

Turn on or restart the PC.  Press the ESC key to get the menu of options.

Select the F9 boot options menu and from that, select the USB flash drive and press the enter key.

ALL. I figured out the problem. You have to enable Legacy Support in the Bios. Otherwise, it will only enter a secure boot, which I imagine only recognizes the original hard drive.

Glad you figured it out.
