I bought an 850 EVO 500 for my Dell Inspiron 3455. It won't boot after cloning. I have used multiple cloning technologies (Samsung's, Acronis, EaseUS, Clonezilla, etc.), and they all result in the same outcome. The files are there, but it won't boot. It wouldn't even boot after doing a full OS reinstall using Dell's image downloaded from support. again, the files were there and verified, but it simply won't load.
Boot repair procedures, both automatic and commandline fail. The boot files are present. When booting with Secure Boot, I get a signature error. Without SecureBoot, the screen simply remains black.
Does anyone have any experience getting the 3455 to boot off a SSD? Or should I just junk this PC and go with another brand?
