I'm trying to install a new SSD in my laptop, but I'm getting a 'No media found' error. Is this because the SSD is empty and I need to clone it from the old one I'm replacing? Or could there be another issue? I'd really appreciate any help or advice regarding this situation.

Yeah, if you're swapping out an SSD, the new one will need an OS to boot. Cloning is a good option, especially since you mentioned that the previous SSD was failing. If you're not up for cloning, a fresh OS installation will work too!
It sounds like the new SSD is empty, meaning it doesn't have an operating system installed yet. That's why your laptop can't find any media to boot from. You can either reinstall an OS on it or clone your old SSD to the new one to get it up and running.
