It was a beautiful day for a PC upgrade (or so I thought). So I went to a local retail big box store and got me a new motherboard and CPU. I am having issues booting up to windows. I previously had Windows 7 pro (64-bit). When I tired to boot from that drive, I would get a blue screen along with an error message: 0x0000007B. So I figured I was going to keep having issues and I will need to do a fresh install of windows. The problem is that I bought this machine with a bootleg windows installed. So I knew I was not going to be able to use the same operating system.
So what I did was: I Plugged my drive to a different machine and I reformatted the drive. I then bought Windows 10 home (64bit). I used window's media creation tool and downloaded it to my newly reformatted drive. I assume this will allow my computer to boot off that drive ( although to be honest I don't know if that's how it works.) Well I plugged my hard drive to my new machine and it takes me straight to bios. I try booting off the drive, and it take me back to bios again.
I have built a few machines from scratch and almost never encounter any problems. I like to learn and research different ways of doing things and figuring things out myself. However this is not my system and I need to get it fixed as soon as possible. I am pretty sure I am doing something very wrong or I might be missing something, I would very much appreciate if i can get some assistance! thank you for your attention!
