SSD does not work in laptop?

Which I have used on my PC for years in my laptop installed (HDD out, SSD pure) on the SSD was also Windows so should eig.Everything work, but when I try to start the laptop comes the message: no bootable device, why can that be and how can I fix the problem?

You can't just replace the hard drive, because Windows is firmly connected to the hardware (at least with W10).

What do I have to do to use the SSD? Formatting? Because there are important data on it.

No, you can't just install a Windows from one PC into another, the Windows must be reinstalled because it has to be adapted to the system. During installation, the correct drivers and necessary data are automatically generated, ie SSD Delete and Windows in the new PC or install a laptop

You can portieren no operating systems on other hardware, 2. Look also in the bios that the SSD is registered as a boot device.

Ansich he should at least find the MBR and only get problems during booting due to the hardware.

If he reports he has not found a "bootable device" is probably the SSD not registered in the boot menu.

The important data before on USB or other places secure one should anyway always never important data store on the PC but always save externally

Deletion is not necessary, you can also just Partinionieren and a 2nd Win installation set, should you want to back and forth the plate.

But, of course, you need 2 single Win installations on it.

How do I get into the bios?

First save the data on the old computer (mobile hard disk eg), then format / delete, then over to the new computer and the new operating system on it.

Depends on the system (motherboard).

F8, F11, remove Esc. Are the most common. Must press the start, then he goes into the bios instead of booting.

Yes that is of course but very complicated

The old computer is broken.

Yes, of course, it is a bit awkward. Especially if the partition is to be created in retrospect… That's enough Windwos (I think) no longer. This then needs something like partitionMagic or ÄHnlcihes.

But if data is needed, this would be an option.

Then you could use an adapter to connect the hard drive to another PC as a mobile hard drive and so save the data first.

For example:

Just tried it, nothing happens, (Acer Aspire V7n)

Google says: F2 at Acer

… See also.F2 seems common in laptops.

Does not work either

It has to.

Yes, k.a. What I should say about it. Bios menu must be accessible…

Turn off the laptop (completely off).

Turn on.

Directly F2 spam.

until you are in bios or just the message comes back to the bootable device.

But he should go to bios.

I wonder as much, I spam before I start f2 and still is not.

There's no other way to format the SSD

Formatting is not the problem. The adapter is there to save the data.

Ok 20 euro, the data are not synonymous worth now, I have to format them? Somehow I do not come to Bios

You have to have the operating system on DVD or USB stick and boot from it. Everything else will run by itself. W10 formats the hard disk itself.

Hm… Maybe try another key, I can't say anything. Google says it's F2 … And to get into the bios you do not need tricks. So just the right taste… So I can't really say much here anymore.

But assuming that you can do it:

You can set the boot order there, make sure it looks like this:

USB
CD
SSD

Then, next you need a USB stick.

Then you need a bootable partition program. That draws on a stick.

The pack in, start laptop, then he should boot the partition program.

Hereby create then in the (hopefully sufficient) free memory of the disk a new partition WITHOUT the old to solve or format! (This is important, so you do not lose any data… Windows does not do that, win is very limited here, so partition program that can insert partitions)

If you have enough memory to create a new partition, you can reboot. USB out. WIN CD in.

Then he should start the regular installation of the WIN CD. When selecting the disk, be sure to select the new, empty partition.

Then have a SSD with 2x Windows on it, which should potentially run on both systems.

So I managed to get into bios now, what am I doing now? I have changed the boot order

/ what is a partition program?

Well, I've written a step-by-step tutorial on that.

A partition is a "subdivision" of the hard disk into (virtual) drives. So that z.b. A physical disk in Windows C:, D: and E: may have.

A partition program is just a software that can make these subdivisions.

In principle, Windows can do that too, but only to a limited extent. The trick is that you want to "reschedule" the disk without touching the existing partitions.

So I make Windows on the Usb stick and then I can adjust this?

Yes and no.

First of all, you have to create a drive on the disk where you install windowns.

If you do not do this, the Windows installation will either reformat the entire disk or affect the data in an existing partition and possibly delete Deien data. (I do NOT assume that you have an explicit WIN partition).

Therefore, first partition.

for example With something like that: https://www.chip.de/...97298.html

,

DANNACH starts with windows (whether from CD or stick is sausage)

Of course, this goes well beyond the standard user portfolio, if this is too complicated for you and the data is very important, maybe look in the known circle, if someone helps you… Will not take any responsibility here, if something does not work out.

Although I know what I do, but I do not know if I can communicate everything while writing clearly.

And formatting existing hard drives and double Win installations should be done cleanly, if it works.

So I put the program on the usb stick and then Windows?

First time with the program partition create.
Then take care of windows.
Only one boot process per medium.

But how do I create Partitonen? (The old computer is broken)

Yes, as I said, you should know roughly what you do when the data is important.

Anscih starts the laptop with the bootable stick in it, then he boots into the partition program. Here can then just create partitions with the program functions. I do not know the prog myself, just ergoogelt degrees, I use an old, paid yet. But in principle this is always the same.

As I said, otherwise see if you have someone in the known circle, that's not sooo easy just click-by-click here to explain by text.

Especially since I'm now so long online and you are guaranteed to spend a few more hours.

OK thanks

Yes, very much, but as you realize yourself: if you do not know exactly what you're doing right now, more questions than findings come about, do not want me to misunderstand you somewhere and have subsequently erased the record.
