I want to do a clean reinstall of Windows 10 PRO x64 on a new SSD. I downloaded the Media Creation Tool and downloaded the ISO and used RUFUS software to prepare a bootable USB flash drive. I installed to a 128 MB SSD without any error msgs, but when I tried to run it, my PC got the Blue Screen of Death. The same thing happened if the drive was just plugged into the PC. The same SSD crashed when using an external dock and when I tried it on 2 other PCs!
I am now making another attempt on a 500MB SSD. My PC is old enough that it uses BIOS rather than UEFI. When I attempted to install to this SSD I got a msg that it could not install because this SSD was GPI partition style. I did some research and converted the SSD to MBR partition style. This item the install went smoothly, however, I cannot boot from it.
I am not a techie, so I feel like I accomplished something by getting this far, but now I don't know where to go. My ultimate goal is to install Windows and future programs to the new SSD and use multiple HHD drives for storage. But I'm stuck...can anyone show the way to proceed, please?
