[SOLVED] New build with old storage isnt working

[Dylan1234]

So, I just made a new build using my old SSD, and HDD. I can get into the BIOS just fine, however after that, nothing. I have tried wiping clean my SSD to give it a fresh start, being I still have my retail copy of windows, and I was going to reinstall it. However, it just stops and freezes in the windows welcome/loading screen.

Just leave connected the drive you are installing Windows.
After you are done installing Windows connect any other drives.

Use Windows Media Creation Tool to create a bootable Windows installation USB flash drive.

Select the Custom installation and delete all partitions from the drive, Windows setup will create the necessary partitions.

So, I unplugged my HDD, I have taken out the GPU, and the screen is still getting stuck on the starting windows portion.

Exactly at which stage does Windows freezes?

Can you list your build components.
Try with one stick of RAM.

I got it to work. The motherboard isnt compatible with windows 7, so I had to use my old system, reinstall 7, and then update it to 10, then swap the SSD back into the new build with only windows on it
