I am Working on a Laptop for my Gf's mom, its a Dell Inspiron m5030, she doesn't play games, but she asked me if there was a way to upgrade her laptop to run a little faster, and play movies, as of now it struggles. SO i told her lets try maxing the ram out and put a SSD in it, the Ram went fine.
But when i upgraded to 10 on the old HDD (to register the motherboard), windows 10 stopped seeing the DVD drive in "my computer", but the Bios sees it and when i go into hardware in windows it sees it but it has a little circle next to it with a ?, and when i try to install windows 10 onto the SSD using a DVD, it wont see the SSD, but when i use a USB drive to install windows 10, it see's the SSD, but wont complete the installation.
I just don't know what to do at this point, i just cant get windows 10 onto this SSD drive, even tho its the SAME SSD i have in my system, and windows 10 seen it just fine which is a Samsung EVO 250gb
