Check your device manager. I'll bet it is full of yellow. Fix this by installing the drivers for your system.

I can't help but notice you seem to be on the internet now. Reading and posting.

If you're on a phone of tablet then you have to find someone else with a PC and ask them to down the drivers for you. You PC won't work without them. If this is too hard or complex, then take it to a shop and have them do it for you. They should not charge too much.

So boot from your old drive and download the drivers needed for your new install.
