Hope someone can have some answers...and appreciate any...just upgraded my system from 4770k to ryzen 5600x & msi x570 Tomahawk mobo...I'm using the same win 10 ssd..just deleted intel drivers etc first..trying not to reinstall. Anyway...first off I was getting cpu debug error...updated bios...no probs...soo..after first time proper booting....I was given a warning about system change & would I want to go into bios...something along those lines....anyway I went into bios & came back out again....I was hoping it would boot into windows & make required driver changes..with my help..but no...every time I power on it goes straight into bios!..boot debug error shows up on mobo...Boot sequence says UEFA hdd first..hope this covers ssd....my second secondary don't show up though in system status though checked connections. HELP??? tnx
 
It's my secondary that's being detected..not primary..might explain things! Wire check again...power lead had come out..plugged back in...recognised..but still booting to bios :(

Is ufei enabled? You'll also need to set it as your boot device if it doesn't give you a Windows bootloader option.

Personally I'd reformat going from Intel to AMD, otherwise you're letting yourself in for hard to diagnose problems further down the line.
 
Yeah ufei is enabled & already checked boot sequence..hdd first..(you'd think it would also say ssd this day & age). Cheers anyway ad.
 
Looks like a fresh install anyway....connected a dvd rom with win10 backup installation disk...booted to it fine. Strange how it won't recognise my ssd with win10 as a boot drive. I know I've shoved it straight into an amd build straight from an intel build but reading on the web people do this all the time & boot up only for win10 to reinstall necessary drivers....dunno why I can't....oh well.
 
I imagine you've checked this but was your SSD definitely partitioned as UEFI and not legacy on your old board? Are you able to enable legacy booting on your new board to try that?

If not, I think having the drive set to AHCI vs another setting can cause this, so it might be worth checking what it was originally set to on your old board.
 
I am pretty sure you just can't do that. Updating to another intel, fine, but changing to an AMD I think you need to just start again and install windows.
 
No I only have a choice of raid or uefi as far as I can see....yeah I most definitely think these were partitioned as ahci on the last build. Maybe you've hit the nail on the head..will have to look into this.. cheers spleen...and pp111...but I dunno...some people have no probs doing this it seem.
