Question SSD M.2 SATA from Laptop not working in PC

[mattatcomputer]

I have sold a laptop on Ebay for repairs/parts. However, I want to wipe the SkHynix SATA M.2 SSD 256gb it came with. So I've put it into my PC's M.2 slot but it can't get past the BIOS or boot screen.

I have had a look and I think it should be compatible. The PC had a NVme in there before.

This is where in the manual talks about storage https://ibb.co/YRBF7z1

And this is the laptop ssd in situ. https://ibb.co/dL6KM2C (pls excuse fan I know it's pretty grim). No other hard drives are connected.

I'm also getting this screen when I attempt to move the boot order to laptop ssd in bios. https://ibb.co/9q8twyW

Is it possible the ssd is dead or is it actually not compatible?

Ive never done this before so would appreciate some advice.

For legacy mode (BIOS/CSM) use rufus settings - MBR/NTFS.
For UEFI mode use rufus settings GPT/Fat32.


Looks good.

Right thank you very much for your help. Appreciate it.
