Nvme with boot os working in new laptop

[salsamaster07]

Hi,

So my old laptop broke. So i moved the nvme drive to an other laptop. That already has a boot os hdd.
It won't boot from the nvme, even when I changed boot order as nr1.
Both work with win 10 64.

What should I do.i need everything on that nvme. Awesome windows setting my files etc.

I want mine nvme to be the boot os in win 10.

Moving a drive + OS from one system to another often fails.
Doing this with laptops increases that fail potential.

There is no magic dust you can sprinkle on it to make it boot up.

You need a full OS reinstall. Which means all of your applications as well.

Noooo. Both drives? Could I send important data to the hdd drive or does it need to be external backup.

Assuming you're able to have both the NVMe drive and existing HDD installed at one, just boot from the HDD with the OS installed. The NVMe drive will be displayed as a 2nd drive, you can access all the files stored on it. Back up what you need (either to the internal HDD or an external drive), then wipe it.
