Firstly I am no tech guru - youtube and forums have a lot to answer for coaxing us mothers into areas unknown!
I have bought a old Dell Latitude E5540 for my son. I have a SSD Crucial MX300 that I took out of an old laptop which was working fine and had Win 8.1 + other MS programs installed on it.
My memory oversimplified what I did last time to upgrade to a SSD and thought I could just swap them out in the Dell E5540.
Clearly this hasn't worked - and when I go into the Boot List there is no SSD as a choice.
The system BIOS is A17 a long way away from the current A23.
I have tried to find the steps I need to follow online but have just gotten entirely confused.
Any steps to try to follow would really be appreciated.
Thanks
Mel
