    Question I can't get my new cloned SSD Drive to boot. Any suggestions?

    So I can take out the SSD in my new laptop and put in a brand new SSD unformatted and the system should be able to see it when I boot from a usb flash drive to install linux?

    Shouldn't I be able to format the new SSD for Linux, take out the old windows SSD, put in the new one and install linux from a usb drive? When I boot from the usb, it can't find the new SSD drive to install on.

    Well I thought that was going to be an easy solution but I was wrong. I cannot get the laptop to recognize the SSD when I swap it with the SSD it came with.

    My ultimate goal is to install Linux Mint anyway. Maybe I should just install that on the new SSD? I don't know why I didn't just start with that!

    Question I can't get my new cloned SSD Drive to boot. Any suggestions?

    I purchased a new 2TB m.2 SSD drive and cloned my existing 128GB m.2 SSD drive. When I switch out the drives, I cannot boot from the new SSD. I have gone into the bios to set the boot order, but the new drive doesn't even show up as an option.
