So I installed the SSD, and when I checked for it in My PC in Windows it didn't appear. So I went into my BIOS and found that my M.2 port wasn't enabled. I enabled my M.2 port, but after that the computer refused to boot to Windows afterwards until I disabled the M.2. <cite>THEGODDAMNBATMA posted [p:952564879] in My PC refu...

So I went into my BIOS and found that my M.2 port wasn't enabled. I enabled my M.2 port, but after that the computer refused to boot to Windows afterwards until I disabled the M.2. Did you check your boot order after enabling the M.2 port? That can sometimes cause your boot order to change because your BIOS adds the new drive as the first thing to boot (a hold over back when computers used to boot from disk instead of an installed drive). --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job!
