The name for my old boot drive is still in the order despite being unplugged, and so is my SSD, but no flash drive. I booted it back up, and now the flash drive, despite being plugged in, is no longer visible in the boot order. I even unplugged my old boot drive as was recommended to me. One of the potential fixes said 'Make sure the drive is first in the boot order.' So I did that. Every part had been replaced with a better alternative except this, and here I was just about to basically complete the build, except no. This is the last custom part in this build of mine to replace the only remaining original part from the old rebuilt I had built a custom PC out of. I'm so tired at this point, but I'm still pressing on. Tried again, and of course, I got another error. I was happy, foolishly thinking that the system would finally work.

Looked up how to fix that error, and I got it fixed. Tried installing Windows 10 to the boot drive I wanted it to be in, but it gave me an error that said Windows couldn't be installed to that drive. I just went out and bought a 32 GB flash drive to put the Windows 10 installation media onto.

This went on for years until finally I decided just to install the SSD and a new copy of Windows 10, and I received even more issues, hence where I'm at now.)

Up until that point, Windows update wouldn't finish either, so I had to disable it for so long given Microsoft doesn't allow you to shut down or restart without updating.

I reset everything, I reinstalled drivers, nothing worked. (I was never able to get it fixed no matter what I did. This is an issue because for some reason, Windows Media creation tool requires an internet connection. I originally was trying to do it via my old boot drive, but since my college class had us do ipconfig /renew in CMD as part of our CMD training, it somehow corrupted my ethernet capabilities and my ethernet capabilities died in the middle of me shopping.

I had foolishly plugged the CPU pump power cable into the SSD thinking it only powered the lights and the system would shut off after a little while after being on, so I just unplugged my storage drive and replaced it with that for the time being since I need the data from my boot drive.) Now it's booting up with the SSD in, but nothing I do, no matter how far I get, enables me to be able to install Windows 10 into this thing. One of them I have to use for my CPU pump because I don't have a fan and/or a RGB controller hub. (My SATA power connector only has three ports. At first, I couldn't get the system to boot up with the SSD, but I got that working. I decided I was tired of my current installation of Windows 10, as I had had the drive for years with it on there and the installation was corrupted to all heck with no hope of a fix. It sat in the packaging for a little while on my shelf until I was able to get to tinkering with my PC given it was all I had to work on college work, and I wanted to wait until I had a proper laptop to start working on it in case things went wrong, which in this case, they did. I ordered directly from the Samsung website and it came early. I've been trying my hardest this entire week to get this Samsung 870 EVO 1 TB working.
