Hello,
I currently have a laptop with a corrupted BIOS preventing me from booting from any port other than the SSD (an M2 port in this case), my OS being installed on said SSD everything was working well on this laptop until, fatally, the SSD gave up on me...
I have been desperately trying for some time to find a solution to either pre-install Windows on an SSD in order to boot the Windows installation process from the SSD and thus be able to properly install Windows on it, so that, in the absence of access to the BIOS to change my boot order, and thus be in control of my machine, I can at least use my computer....(lol)
I want to emphasize that the laptop in question has not been under warranty for quite some time and that a return to service for the corrupted (factory) BIOS is therefore not an option.
If you have any solution so that I can finally return to my Windows desktop I would be very grateful :)
Thank you to those who will take the time to think about my problem.
Have a great day everyone!

Hello,
I propose a solution that I have never tried but would attempt in such a situation.
It's on another PC, format your SSD with only a small partition that needs to be activated, and on which you would copy the contents of the W10 installation ISO. The rest of the SSD would be unused. Then you replace your SSD back in the PC and try to boot from it. With a bit of luck, this could start the W10 installation.
Best regards

I hadn't thought of this solution, I'll test it and let you know in the coming days depending on the result (the PC is currently with a friend).
A solution must exist in any case since I've already had the issue before when the PC was under warranty and the guys at the repair center managed to fix it for me.
