I installed the crack version of Windows 10 into the ssd and it worked for a day. But then the blue screen of death happened. I removed the ssd and ran the pc again and I entered into the BIOS. Now, is there a way where I can connect the internal SSD to a laptop and format it? I tried doing that with "Advanced boot options but then the blue screen happened again and I'm not able to do it since, boot loop happening. Please help!
 
Solution
if you connect it to an open SATA port and the PSU it should show up in the BIOS and Disk Management and you should be able to partition it and format it from Disk Management.

We will not assist in getting your pirated install working so the only option would be a clean install of a legit Windows 10 install and formatting the drive will be an option during the install. There is no need to Pirate windows 10, just run it unactivated till you can buy a legitimate key or just live with the limited personalization.

One doubt though: the os worked fine for a day, do you think that the incident happened due to a problem with the ssd itself?
