Boot Problem

Question

I have a G7 17 7790. Installed a new M.2 drive after installing a new copy of windows 10 and rebooting. It does the setup and configuration then it reboots and gets at the dell logo and he little circles stop spinning and I can't continue setting up windows.  Anyone have a fix for this?

Thanks for the help but I got windows 11 installed and everything looking to be in working order.

Looks like it was a date issue in the bios. It keep resetting the clock even after I set it correctly. CMOS battery was all fine.

Letting my laptop stay on for 24 hours to see if it crashes.

in the bios and in windows for some reason. the cmos battery is all good so not sure why it keep resetting the date.
