Hello everyone.
Today I bought a 1tb nvme to upgrade my storage on my PC,already got 2 hard drives and 1 SATA SSD , where I have installed w11 for about 5 years. My plan was on moving the os from the old SSD to the new nvme and I used a program called MiniTool Partition Wizard, version 10.0.

It's my first time doing this and I expected no problems on it,cause my SSD is only 120gb and have like 15gb free, so no problem with space at all.

The thing is the program ask you to reset your PC because the SSD (C:) is in use, so I do it, took like 10mins just to shutdown and when it turned on again it got stuck on the Gigabyte Splash Screen. I've got options below, like press "DEL" to enter bios, F12 to see boot options, F9 to see system info and "END" to Q-FLASH.

The problem is I can't access none of these options cause my keyboard wont work, and not just my keyboard cause I've tried another one too. My mouse LEDs are on but can't use it neither.

I've tried disconnecting all peripherals, reset CMOs, resetting, hardshutting and nothing works.

My specs are:
-ryzen 5 2600
-motherboard gigabyte ab350m-ds3h
-16gbs of ram 3000mhz (2x8 Corsair)
-amd sapphire Rx 6600
-evga PSU 550w b3
-2 HDDs (1tb and 300gbs)
-1 SATA SSD where w11 is installed
-1 nvme m.2 1tb
 
Disconnect all drives and with your discrete GPU hooked to the monitor, can you get into BIOS and see what BIOS version you're on at this moment of time?

How old is the PSU in your build?

If I were you, I'd have reinstalled the OS after recreating the bootable USB installer for said OS. While having only the drive you intend to install the OS on hooked to the motherboard.

A precursor to the OS reinstall would've been;
a| Backup any and/or all critical content off the prior SSD.
b| Make sure you're on the latest BIOS version.
c| Recreate the bootable USB installer for Windows 11 to make sure you had a clean install, without years worth of minor corruptions in said OS.

My BIOS version is F30, I updated it B4 I got my r5 about 3 years ago.

My PSU is about 5-6 years old.

Doesn't matter is I have a backup or not,cause almost all my data is stored in the others hard drives.

I just want to move the os from one disk to another and not loose my license in the process.

You recommend flashing a new w11 on the new nvme? And then formating the SSD?
 
[UPDATE]

I removed all the drives and could enter bios, where it showed me my bios version.

Connected all my SATA disk, like I had it B4 adding the nvme and the PC booted normally.
Before entering windows, partition wizard showed it was about to ran the copy but I cancelled it because the nvme is not connected.

What do you recommend ?
