I recently decided to up my system by booting Windows 10 from a new SSD I bought for that reason. My Lenovo Y510P has a free m.2 slot so I bought a m.2 SSD (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/NT-256-240GB-256GB-NGFF-SSD-HDD-M-2-SATA-6Gb-s-MLC-Solid-State-Disk/32817754508.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.443e4c4d78yCLp) which is listed as compatible on the manufactur site.
When running Windows on my old HDD it recognises the SSD just fine and I can read and write whatever I want.
I created a USB Bootstick using Rufus and the latest Windows 10 build from the Microsoft Website. The installation runs just fine until it has to reboot to finish off. Then I unplug the USB Stick just as I should and the system restarts just to tell give me this error (in UEFI mode):
Recovery
Your PC needs to be repaired
The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains error.
File:\Windows\system32\winload.efi
Error code: 0xc000000f
You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you don't have any installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your system administrator or PC manufacture.
Press Enter to try again
Press F8 for Startup Settings
Press Esc for UEFI Firmware settings
When I start in Legacy mode it does recognise the SSD but it doesnt recognise anything bootable on it.
Any ideas on what I did wrong? I read several reports on people booting their Y510P from the m.2 SSD so it should actually work. Is my SSD broken? Did I mess something up in the BIOS (which I updated already)?
I also contacted the seller, however they seem to not have competent service personal, all they did was offer me to return it and get a new one because of warranty.
Edit: I checked the content of the SSD and the apparently missing winload.efi is in fact on the SSD in the right folder (system32). So there seems to be a problem with accessing the SSD..
