So,I had an old laptop with old HDD disk,I decided to replace it with new SSD,so k purchased the new disk and a slot for previous one (to put it in CD ROM).

 

I placed SSD in main slot and HDD in second one (CD ROM one),booted up windows instalator made by windows creation tool,removed all the partitions,then when I tried to install windows on disk 0(SSD one) it said windows cannot be installed to this disk this computer hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk controllers is enabled in the bios menu

 

Also I noticed that a lot of weird things started happening after replacing the disk,like the error with informations from motherboard missing (serial number,sku,family,etc) and the HP manufacturing program enabled.. I don't understand it so much why can't it work.

 

Someone told me that this laptop got financed by European union (yes it did) and they made it that you can't replace the things like disk etc,and when it doesn't detect original disk in the main slot it's gonna be that. Can this be true? Actually I don't think that something should happen to bios just after replacing the disks and the bios error does appear,mysterious. Please help
