Windows cannot be installed to this disk

Hello,

I want to install windows 10 on my DELL latitude E5470 which has a samsung SSD mzhpu128hcgm-0000 as hard drive. but when i want to select this disk and install windows on it, i got this error message :

'Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu.'

Please help me, I have no windows on my laptop now.

Best regards

Depending on where and when you obtained the image, you may want to download a newer build.

You will need to reset the BIOS to the way it was before (if it was a factory install, likely UEFI and Secure Boot both ON).

I think that the problem is not with the windows version

but with the laptop, I have the windows installed on the SSD but it wont start from it.

this problem appeared when i updated my BIOS to the last version.

Hello, thank you for your assistance

I have windows 10 installes in my SSD, after I updated the bios, ithe laptop wont boot from SSD.

I tried every solution. I reset bios with factory settings and bios setting , I switched between legacy and UEFI mode.

But the problem persist.

when i put it on UEFI Decure boot ON. the SSD didnt appear on the boot list.

When I try with an external hard drive which wondows is intalled in it, it works.

I can't repair it because the SSD is not bootable. I cant log to windows 10 directly from the SSD

You need to follow the instructions - make a set of repair media (with the exact same version that's on the hard drive) and boot from it -- be SURE the external drive is NOT connected when you do this.
