I already tested the SSD and SATA cables and they work fine. MSI support says the mobo needs to be replaced. This build is 4 years old and I was hoping to go at least another year before replacing it. Would like to get just a new mobo, cpu and upgrade to Windows 10 and replace the rest later on.
Approximate Purchase Date: this week. Wife is annoyed by how slow it is. Everyone misses the SSD.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: mobo does not recognize SSD anymore. SSD tested fine on another system with no issues. SATA cables work fine with other drives. I don’t think I can get a new mobo that supports my current CPU so that is on the table as well. Windows 10 is required for Sea of Thieves.
