SATS system transfer

This sounds like you need to do a Repair Install of the Windows OS. When it installs, Windows detects the hardware in the machine and automatically finds and loads all sorts of drivers for specific hardware devices on the mobo, etc. Things like SATA controller drivers, sound chip drivers, USB controller drivers. etc. All that is on the old SATA HDD you are trying to move to a new set of hardware. But if the new hardware is sufficiently different - even by only 1 or 2 important pieces - the old OS can't load and run because it is missing some parts.

The solution is two-part, and starts with needing the original Windows Install Disk. OOOPS! But if you have that, you boot from the Install Disk and tell it to do a Repair Install. That does NOT re-install everything. It simply examines whether all the drivers needed (on the new hardware it has) have been installed properly, and fixes the deficiencies. When that's done you can reset the BIOS to boot from the hard disk again.

Now MAY come the second part. One of Windows' security tools is to examine the details of the machine it is running on and compare to its list of original components. If it considers these differences significant, it may conclude that you have tried to copy a legit install to a second illegitimate machine, and refuse to run. Or it might simply tell you you are not legit and refuse to let you run any update tools. Anyway, if this happens, you have to contact M$ Tech support by phone and explain the upgrading you have done to the system hardware. They can tell you how to re-Authorize (or whatever they call it) your Windows so it is recognized as still a legit copy, and away you go!
