I have two laptops my old one, and one I just recently purchased. Both laptops have an M.2 OS drive and a secondary 2.5" SATA slot.
The old laptop had a 4TB Samsung 850 Evo connected to it. The new one had a Seagate 1TB HDD connected. I don't know if it is relevant, but the 1TB drive was unformatted. I connected the 4TB SSD to the new laptop and it refuses to boot. The logo appears, but the spinning circles for a Windows 10 start-up don't show and it stays like that indefinitely. As soon as the drive is removed it will boot normally.
What could be the cause for this?
