Can t install windows 7 on ssd update#

My personal conclusion is that DFI boards will get the highest overclocks you know, but the stability is worse than awful with SSD's.I'm actually thinking it might be the Motherboard because someone pointed out to me on a previous BIOS update for the DFI T3EH8 was for compatibility with SSD drives.Дў. I had to deal with RMA from more than one company before I realized that it wasn't RAM (which I RMA'd) or the CPU (which I replaced!!!) or the PSU (which I tested against 5 other units) or, so I though, the mobo, which I replaced more than once with a DFI board. Even DFI tech support told me I was right in buying a board from someone else. Maybe the board was bad? I thought so too. Have you tried using a board NOT! made by DFI? I have tried close to one dozen SSD's (that's 12 F'ing disks!) on a DFI board and they right. I guess someone who has run into the same issue would know, but again as I said, I am no wiz at it so maybe I am wrong and there is a straight solution.This is an amazing amount of responses to the OP. But to tell you the truth, I have meticulously skimmed through most of the threads across tech forums and in several languages over the last 72 hours and most of the troubleshooting seems to be useless regarding the issue here. See 3 pictures below (shown in sequential order). And if I do 'Continue Boot', I am getting the 'BootDevice Not Found' error. Hitting enter on that option reverts me back to the startup menu. See below.ДЄs for running the recovery CD/DVD, I am unfortunately not getting the dual option to boot as CSM/Legacy or UEFI. Selected boot image did not authenticaвЂ‹te' error message. Instead, my USB will not boot and I am getting this ' Secure Boot.

Then I get to enter a 4-digit validation code that is also supposed to lock Secure boot out but for some reason it will never save. Here is a screenshot of the drop-down menu with which I am supposedly disabling Secure Boot.

And thank you for taking the time to help here.ДЄs I noted in my initial write-up, my main issue is that disabling Secure Boot will not save no matter what I do. Please let me know what I am missing here as I seriously do not know what else I can do. So basically, my new laptop only works with the original HDD and Windows 10.

Please Install an Operating System on your Hard Drive It just will not boot it and returns the following error message. It does recognize the DVD and lists it properly if I go to the boot menu. The computer will simply refuse to even start booting the DVD.

Can t install windows 7 on ssd windows 10#

today, I ran the HP recovery disk containing Windows 10 + drivers. So after losing hope, I decided to at least get Windows 10 installed on the SSD. PROBLEM 2: Impossible to Boot Windows 10 Recovery Disk I always get the same Secure Boot error message and disabling Secure Boot never saves. I tried to do the same process with clearing the secure boot keys, or after logging in as an admin. Out of curiosity, I go back to the BIOS and I realize that the Secure Boot Configuration settings did not save and have all reverted back to Legacy Support Disable and Secure Boot Enable. Selected boot image did not authenticaвЂ‹te. The computer restarts and seems to be booting the USB stick but immediately returns the following error message. The cpu restarts and prompts me to validate a 4-digit code to enable Secure Boot. With now everything set up as much as the BIOS allows me to enable Secure Boot, I Exit and Save. Instead of a device list as with UEFI Boot Order, the following sentence is written: 'Enable Legacy Boot, Save Settings & Exit, then Return to Setup'. Below, Legacy Boot Order is greyed out and cannot be unchecked. Only the device booting order can be tweaked so I ranked the USB device first. Below, UEFI Boot Order is greyed out and cannot be unchecked. In BIOS Setup > Advanced > Secure Boot Configuration, I switched to Legacy Support Enable and Secure Boot Disable then Save. The USB device is properly recognized as a UEFI device. I stuck the USB device in the computer, went to F10 - BIOS Setup. Using Rufus, I created a bootable USB stick formatted as Fat32 and partitioned as GPT since my Bios defaults to UEFI. I unplugged the HDD and swapped it with the SSD. PROBLEM 1: Impossible to Enable Secure Boot and Install Windows 7 I know a little but am definitely not a wiz. Sorry in advance if I state the obvious or if I do not use the right wording. I have gone absolutely bonkers after 72 hours of trying. My intention was to pull the original HDD out and do a clean install of Windows 7 on the SSD.

I used the spare money to purchase an Windows 7 Pro ењ†4 license and a Sandisk 256Gb SSD. I just got a deal on a brand new HP Probook 450 G3 that came with a 1To HDD and Windows 10 pre-installed.
