So i had a laptop with windows 7 on it. It had a 256gb ssd.

 

The laptop screem broke so i bought a new laptop.

 

 

Now the new laptop comes with Windows 8.

 

 

But I wanted to keep Windows 7 and all my old files so I simply switched the hdd's around thinking nothing of it.

 

 

Now when I turn my laptop on, it keeps going straight into BIOS and wont boot windows 7 from the SSD.

 

 

some research tells me tht Windows changed the way they boot OS's in Windows 8 which may be causing the problem.

 

 

what can I do. Please advise.

 

 

all I want is for my new laptop to use my old ssd so I can access all my old stuff.

 

 

thanks in advance for your help
