I don't see a problem with adding more storage. If you want some specific storage recommendations please ask! :)

I built my custom loop almost 10 years ago. I did months of planning and research. And I don't mean like 5 or 10 minutes a day. I was reading for hours every single day for months. Not necessarily because I felt that much was necessary for a successful loop, I just found everything so...

What kind of storage do you use? HDD, SSD, M.2? What slot on your motherboard do you have it inserted in? Did you update bios?

Unfortunately a fluctuation in power could cause component issues on the hardware level and software issues as well (messed up windows installation etc). Try to reset your CMOS. Unplug RAM and put back in as well as unplug PSU. I know it sounds weird but re seating RAM and unplugging then re...

If you would want to save some time on the backup you could consider implementing a incremental or differential backup setup instead of doing a full backup every time :)

I read the thread. There are other things we can try to restore access to the system if you would like but if recovering files is the only priority it would be easier than making that system bootable.

From the sounds of it your crucial SSD is not dead. If all that happened was a Windows update that failed miserably probably just a file system/partitioning issue. Would you like help fixing the crucial SSD and preparing it to install a clean copy of Windows on first or help troubleshooting the...

You can always just use an external adapter which will connect through USB :)

Try to reset your CMOS. You can do this by taking the battery out and leaving it out for a few mins then plugging it back in. You can also replace it for super cheap. Just make sure to get the right one. If you do not have extra components such as an extra motherboard or PSU trying stuff like...

Try not to tilt the spray can too much while using it. This will usually insure that not much cold vapor comes out if any. Also check out this thread it might help. Thanks! https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/pc-wont-boot-after-cleaning-with-compressed-air.3263684/

Have you tried booting your old SSD without the new one in the system. What happens when you try to boot it? Any error messages?

Booting on a live linux usb is absolutely the way to go for this as someone else stated but if that is not an option then you can try this to take ownership of those files then try to transfer them. It has worked for me in the past...

The concerning part of this is that it is not detected in bios. You can try to see if it is detected in Windows within disk management. You can open disk management by typing this in run menu diskmgmt.msc It will probably just work from the start menu as well. If the hard drive is there do not...
