I've just got a new ssd drive crucial BX500 ,I installed it OK. I set up my bios to boot from cd to install windows10 on the new drive,the problem is the disk starts the process, just for a few seconds ,then s.creen goes black and I get no further.I have read that a new ssd needs to be , formatted,initialised, ? This is my first ssd I thought it was just the same as I've drive install. Could anyone point me in the right approach here.I would appreciate any help.

Thanks, the cd drive with windows 10 on it seems just lock up after a few seconds as I said ,then a black screen saying no bootable drive.I thought of using a USB flash drive,but does that mean ,I have to buy another copy of Windows as my original is on dvd.Ive also looked at cloning the ide drive to my new sdd ,it just seems a bit of bother just to reinstall Windows. I'm. Just getting a bit old now for pc upgrades etc. Cheers
