I took a 500GB GPT type Internal HDD and connected it to the Internal SATA and SATA Power connectors in my dads UEFI enabled computer, installed Windows 10 x64 and then disconnected the HDD after the first reboot (After it copied all the files, features etc.) as I don't want it installing and configuring for the wrong motherboard.
I plug it in to my computer via an external USB enclosure and follow the steps in the first post substituting the drive letter for the correct one.
bcdboot C:\Windows /l en-us /s K:
bootsect /nt60 K: /mbr /force
bcdedit /store K:\boot\bcd /set {bootmgr} device boot
I configure the BIOS to boot from the removable device, the BIOS fails to boot from the device. Is this because setup can't run on a GPT disk and a BIOS and thus can't finish the installation or what?
I'm meant to do all those 3 things to the drive that contains the Windows install right? Not any of those other partitions that Windows created during installing?
