I had a problem with my laptop, which is why I connected my hard drive to another PC in order to install Windows 10 over it. The hard drive is now recognized in the BIOS of the laptop, but Windows 10 does not boot. The hard disk is in the first place in the boot process.

What error message do you get?

Were there any other hard drives / SSDs in the laptop?

Is UEFI activated in both the laptop and the PC?

ja

1. There's none, just no boot device is recognized

2. No it's just this

3. Yes

Po

Is it even possible to install Windows on the PC and then reinstall the hard drive in the laptop without causing software hardware incompatibilities?

After all, Windows is installed on the PC's hardware, which the laptop does not have

Are the PC and laptop in the same network? Is "file and printer sharing" activated on both PCs?

ja

I think that can change as I was told in Microsoft Support.

But did you have two hard drives in the PC when you installed Windows there?

You may have accidentally installed Windows on the wrong hard drive.

The best thing to do is to reconnect the hard drive to the PC and reinstall Windows. But this time you should disconnect all other hard drives from the PC.

You can't install windows on an external hard drive.

if installed internally,

then switch off secure boot and fast boot in any case with the bios.

if that was done via USB, it won't work anyway.

then the installation / repair / backup medium and image must be copied.

Whether the laptop likes the settings and drivers is a completely different question.

Both are independent of each other. And the latter I don't know where to turn it on.

ja

I only had this one plugged in

Why can't you install Windows directly on the laptop?

ja

Because the error message PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA came at the beginning of the installation.

Is the laptop overclocked?

Are you using the latest version of Windows 10?

The error could indicate a defective RAM. You can check that with memtest. https://www.heise.de/...st86-41271

ja

1. No.

2. Yes, the boot USB stick is equipped with the latest version.

3. I do now

gr

Did you disable quick start after installing Windows?

It should definitely be off when you move the hard drive from one PC to another.
