My PC Won't Start After Motherboard Swap—What Should I Do?

Asked by TechieGamer234
I recently replaced my motherboard, and now my PC isn't booting up Windows. It's displaying the message "Reboot and select proper boot device." I've checked and set my NVME drive as the boot priority since that's where Windows was installed before the swap. Is there something I'm missing that could help me fix this?

I think you might just need to double-check your BIOS settings. Even if your NVME shows up there, try resetting the BIOS settings to default. Sometimes the new motherboard needs a little nudge to recognize existing drives.

Have you tried accessing the boot selector menu when your PC starts up? It's usually the F12 key or something similar, depending on your motherboard. This can sometimes show your NVME drive as a boot option. If it doesn’t show up, there might be an issue with the drive connection.
