>>1508355I was having issues even getting the SSDs into either slot to begin with. The main SSD is covered with some sort of paper with a thin adhesive that the second slot isn't and has an aluminum covering and heatsink tape on it. I can switch it but I think I should keep that first SSD in that spot so that the adhesive doesn't melt on the other SSD.
By switching slots, wouldn't that simply be a change in drive number? Like slot 1/disk 0 is C:, and slot 2/disk 1 is D:? In that case, would I be able to achieve a similar effect by switching the drive names, like maybe my old SSD is simply not booting up because it expects to be the C: drive in the name?
Anyway, this laptop I'm using now is not a laptop I wanted, but it's one that I'm stuck with using. My 2018 laptop is better than this "2024 gaming laptop" in nearly every way outside of CPU. I'm even kind of pissed off I'm using it because of the circumstances surrounding it, but I haven't been able to use my old laptop for nearly an entire year. I'm seeing files I haven't seen since January 24th of last year. All I want is to be able to boot into my old desktop with everything as it was and to use it while using my new SSD as storage or for work purposes.
