    I have an OLD LAPTOP, HP Envy with Windows 10 on a Firecuda HDD. The computer is so old it is not compatible with Windows 11 so I bought another Laptop,
    The NEW LAPTOP is an Acer Nitro AN517-54 with no drives.

    I tried to transfer the HDD to the new computer and keep getting INACCESSIBLE BOOT DRIVE. I can put the OLD HDD back into the OLD LAPTOP and it works fine.

    I also tried to upgrade the NEW LAPTOP to Windows 11 using a USB created from the Windows 11 download page. It just tells me that I can not upgrade from the USB, or an ISO if I created one, and that I need to upgrade from windows.

    Since I can not get windows to load on the HDD how can I get Windows 11 on this HDD and keep all my applications and data ?
