My Boot Drive Isn't Working After Upgrading My CPU, What Should I Do?

Asked by TechGuru42
I recently upgraded from an Intel 7400k to an AMD AM5 7600 and attempted to change the drive settings. Before making the switch, I tried formatting my boot drive to ensure compatibility, but now that I'm back with my old motherboard, the boot drive won't work at all. I'm not sure what my next steps should be. Any advice?

It sounds like you formatted your boot drive, which means you might need to reinstall Windows to get it back up and running. Try using a USB to install Windows again. That should help reconnect everything properly.

TechGuru42: Thatโ€™s what Iโ€™m currently trying to do but it isnโ€™t working.
