I had a question posted here about ways to save my SSD that stopped showing up in the BIOS. I tried everything recommended, including power cycling to no avail. The consensus was that it has simply died with no hope of recovery.
Long story short, I shed some internal tears, got a refund from the manufacturer, and have bought myself a supposedly more dependable Samsung Evo 860. I have a semi-recent backup (not as recent as I'd like) of my dead SSD that had the OS on it. However, without the OS I obviously can't load Windows to restore the backup from the external hard drive.
I'm far from an expert, but I tried looking into what I can do from the BIOS, but haven't really found a solution (at least one that I understand or know will work). What is my best course of action here? Any help or nudge in the right direction would be much appreciated!
