Hi all, i recently purchased a sandisk 240gb ssd drive in order to upgrade my old asus laptop. While setting up windows 10 i got a repeating error. I switched with an older laptop (compaq presario) and it worked perfectly. After windows setup has finished, i put back the ssd in my asus laptop but this time i get an error saying windows has encounter a bad startup and the disk must be formatted and reinstall windows.
What can be wrong? Of course not the ssd. I suspect an incompatibility or a memory failure or else but i don't what. Please an advice. Thanks

Had a similar problem with an IBM Thinkpad with core 2 duo CPU, since I think windows 10 version 1709 it won´t run. Most probably because of a BIOS issue not supporting a feature to run windows properly. The CPU should be able to run win10 without problems but the BIOS won´t be updated from the manufacturer and therefore win10 is not usable.

Try a Linux Distribution like Ubuntu or Mint if you wanna use it with an up to date operating system.

Hi and thx for helping.
The repeating error saying that win10 setup cannot continue due to (hex number) error and right after the drive disappears from drive list. I did setup win10 with my older presario laptop without any issue. But when i put the disk back in my asus, once again gives me a startup error. I will have a snapshot of the screen so you can have an idea of what it could be. Thx

you cannot install window on one computer then move it to another, different motherboard, different hardware, different drivers. Most of the time it just will not work.

what is the full model of the asus?

Hey guys,
sorry for the delay coz i'm working on night shift:sleep:.
Well, i've been told to first setup win10 on one laptop and then put back the ssd to my asus which i'm upgrading. Windows will then install necessary drivers and continue to upload normally.
My asus is a K50i laptop series and my presarion is CQ61.
Installing win10 normally doesn't help. Still getting errors saying setup cannot continue.
I tried Diskpart work around changing from GPT to MBR and vice versa.
I start thinking my asus is incompatible, I was suspecting maybe a memory issue...
Any advice guys?
Thank Y'all for helping

Damm even I am having a similar kind of issue, I have searched all over the internet and even have posted on number of threads on different forum, no solution seems to work. I am really frustrated, can anyone of you here help me resolve this issue, I am very much tired now.

Do you have the same CPU and error message? Which laptop are you using? brand and exact model labeled on the bottom of it
