Since I wanted to keep using Windows 10 and somehow there is still no way to install windows 10 on another hard drive than the one windows is currently running on, I had to use several workarounds.ġ) I installed my old copy of Windows 7 on my new SSD.Ģ) I put my Windows 10 DVD (you can actually get one, but not bootable, if you are part of DreamSpark, which I am since I'm in last year of computer programming, but w/e) and installed it from my Windows 7.ģ) I tried booting on SSD but surprise, Windows 10 created a dual boot I didn't ask for, well I guess that is a good thing, at first.Ĥ) I tried to remove my old hard drive (at least unplug power cord & sata cord) after turning off my computer, but the problem is I wasn't able to boot on my SSD (which was still plugged in) at all anymore, it didn't even try to, it was like trying toĥ) Confused, I plug back my old hard drive, and now the dual boot reappears magically and I can perfectly boot on my SSD with a working windows 10.Ħ) I assume Msconfig got messed up and thus launch it to completely remove my old hard drive from Msconfig.ħ) After reboot with both drives still on, it doesn't even display the dual boot anymore (hurray!) and boots instantly on the SSD.Ĩ) Already rejoicing myself, I remove at last my old HDD, and try to boot again (expecting it to boot on the SSD as it did before) and surprise, it doesn't boot at all again, not even trying, like the SSD isn't event partitioned. I had a standard 2TB hard drive that started to have faulty sectors and make a strange clanking noise (but was still working, even though being a slowpoke) so I decided buying a brand new SSD.

So I encounter a very odd issue right now.

Cannot install windows 10 on ssd
