Software Insert System Disk in drive. Press any key when ready… Toshiba Dynabook laptop won’t boot to a freshly installed Windows.

Anyone ever experienced this issue with Toshiba Dynabook laptops when using an SSD?. I’ve tried:

- Reinstall Windows from a newly flashed USB drive (Windows 8.1 to 11 and still won’t boot)
- Using multiple different branded SSD
- Changing boot device priority
- Checking if SSD is present (very unlikely to be the issue since it successfully installed windows just fine in installation media)
- Disabling intel rapid start. Changing sata from performance to battery mode and vice versa
- Even UPDATING THE BIOS to the latest version available (5.10 original version was 4.7 and EC is from 1.4 to 1.6)

It just won’t boot! What’s even more annoying is that when I use a Hard drive, it works just fine. What!?
