I bought a Aspire AXC-603 in 2015. Recently, I want to upgrad a ssd in order to improve the performence of the desktop. I removed HDD and ODD and installed SSD ( sumsung 860 QVO).  In the bios, there was a sumsung 860 QVO in the menu of AHCI Port0, and the boot option was HD driver instead of Windows boot  manager.The desktop can't boot, and the warning is change a system disk. I'd like to know how to install the SSD.

    You have to first clone your old drive to the SSD, so the SSD has all the same files and partitions as the original HDD had. The easiest way to do that is to get an external USB case for the drive, and clone from the computer to the USB, then pull the HDD out and put the SSD in.

    Thank you for your response. I have clone the system in my SSD and this SSD can boot my Asus laptop. I'd like to know why it can not work on my Acer desktop.

    Show us a caption of your BIOS of the Aspire AXC-603 with the Samsung 860 QVO 1TB SSD, as you must have done something wrong. The BIOS should look like this for it to work, this is a BIOS of a UEFI with a Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SSD which works perfectly as a UEFI at "Boot" 1. HDD0: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB and has worked for many years like this, see this caption below:

    Some cloning software will resize the partitions for you and resizing some of the hidden partition can break the boot. If you can boot to an install image use diskpart to show us what sizes your partitions are on the SSD. It's also possible for the cloning software to make an exact image, including drive serial numbers, which confuses the OS since the two drives look like they are really the same thing.

    These two pictures show the SSD connected in my desktop, but in the BOOT menu, it wasn't recognised by the bios

    No, those are showing you it right. The Samsung SSD is the first Hard Disk, your system isn't quite new enough to differentiate between an HDD and a SSD. Boot to an install image on a flash drive and get into the command prompt. From there enter "diskpart" and enter, then "list disk" and enter. It should give you a list of drives and likely the one selected as 0 will the the Samsung. Do a "Select disk 0" and enter, then a "list part" and enter. Take a snapshot of the results and show it to us. I'm guessing one of or more the partitions isn't right. To exit diskpart just enter "exit" and press the enter key.
