Hello, I have a SCHNEIDER SCL142ALM laptop, I added a Samsung 980 NVMe M.2 SSD to the designated slot and at startup, the screen is black and I can't do anything. Can someone help me please?

Actually, I have Windows 10 installed on the SSD of the PC and I added the SSD to the slot meant for another SSD, and when I start the computer, the screen stays black.

Hello.

Did you install Windows on this SSD? If you tried but were unable to install Windows, the question you need to ask yourself is:

Is the SSD you installed compatible with the motherboard of this entry-level PC which came with only a 32 GB SSD?

This entry-level PC probably doesn't support this type of SSD; check with the manufacturer for the exact specifications of the motherboard, which will detail the types of supported SSDs.
