Recently got a new SSD for the purpose of running the OS and other important software.
Went through the same procedure as i did my HDD and the install worked fine.
After the installation (2 hrs - longer than on my HDD which was only 30 mins) and several restarts, I completed the setup (account login etc.) and the PC login screen appeared.
However, when i logged in, i was mer with a plain black screen. I let it sit upwards of 30 mins but there was no change. Ctrl + Alt + Delete did not show anything, nor did the windows key or any other combination of keys.
At this point I forced a shutdown (power button ~3 seconds), turned off the power supply and unplugged it. After a few minutes i replaced the power supply cable and turned the PC back on.
I entered the BIOS and ensured it was booting through the SSD (it was). Once again i logged in and once again black screen. However, this time i could see the cursor. So i tried Ctrl + Alt + Delete and the menu appeared. Clikcing on task manager did open and show the task manager which appeared and worked fine.
Through the task manager i managed to open the File Explorer and confirmed that the SSD was in fact showing up and had all the windows folders present (at least i presume it did)
At this point the only interactions i can make are the Ctrl + Alt + Delete menu, Task Manager and File Explorer
I do not know where to go from here and everything i read online just keeps saying “the download should be perfect”
Any advice for someone who just wants to USE their SSD?
