Recently I bought myself a new computer. It came with bloatware, somethings i couldn't identity, and a legit copy of Windows 10. However i scraped the hard drive and put my own in. Mine is 64B Windows 10. However; When i change boot drives/sequence to JUST SATA:0 (<my drive) the PC boots to just a message that says;

Attempted to boot from UEFI Volume from legacy mode.
To boot UEFI vol. automatically, rather then via f12:
Press any key to restart PC
Enter BIOS setup in boot Seq.
Change boot list option from legacy to UEFI.
Save and exit.


When i do as asked. I get;

selected Drive has failed to start.

I find that funny as if i put it in the PC that that hard drive was just in it boots perfectly.
Im a pretty tech savvy guy, but this has stumped me for more then a few weeks. Any help will help! :)

 
Solution
You can't just move a drive from one computer to another that way, in most cases it won't boot. Put in the other drive, install Windows clean with the drive in the computer.
