change hdd to ssd problem

My Acer V5-471 laptop: I replaced the HDD with an SSD, but the laptop didn't work at all. The power button shows a blinking blue light quickly, and the laptop doesn't turn on. When I reverted to the HDD, it worked normally. Is there a solution or explanation for this issue?"

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

@mustafameddah do you have an OS on the SSD?Since you did not give us a lot of detail, I'd check on this. It is possible that your computer does not detect an OS and treats the POST as a failed drive. You will need to set your BIOS to boot from something like a bootable USB drive and install an OS to the SSD

@mustafameddah but all that works again when you reinstall your HDD? If so, you do know that the issue is with the SSD.
