Hello.
I have HP EliteBook 8470p laptop. I recently replaced SSD in the laptop with larger one - 1TB Samsung QVO 860
Laptop has 3rd gen Core i5 2.80GHz CPU, 16GB of RAM and AMD 7550 videocard.
Before reinstall, BIOS in laptop was updated to latest version. There were no partitions created on SSD prior to installation and Windows was allowed to partition SSD as it sees fit. So recovery partition - 500MB, EFI partition - 100MB, and the rest of SSD - 931GB for Windows partition on C: drive
Clean install was performed with UEFI boot enabled in laptop's BIOS.
Installation of Windows 10 Pro was launched from bootable USB created with Windows Media creation tool 1909.
During installation i took note that Windows 10 version on the media was dated 9-Jan-2020 which can be seen during "pick your windows version" screen
After installation latop downloaded several Windows updates - January 2020 cummulative update, April 2020 cummulative update and few others, i will try to check and post full list later.
I also installed drivers from HP support page for my laptop like Intel RST driver version 12.x, Intel chipset driver, drivers for Alcor smart card reader and JMicron SD card and FireWire drivers. Plus HP hotkey driver and wireless button driver.
Windows itself installed HP accelerometer driver version 5.2 in disabled state with message "this driver is not compatible with Windows and can cause system instability. please contact computer vendor for updated driver". HP page has the same non-working version of driver.
I found accelerometer driver in Microsoft update catalog, version 7.3
During these installations Windows became unable to boot if restarted. Let me emphasize - if i restart Windows, end. Laptop can not boot, because it does not sees drive as bootable. Laptop does sees drive in BIOS as being physically present and connected, meaning it displays size, serial number and other details about physical drive. So it is not totally lost. Laptop just can't boot from it. MBR issue?
BUT!
If i shut down Windows and then turn laptop back on - everything goes just fine. Booting is proceeding normally.
So - reboot=fail. Shutdown+power on=ok
I have a feeling that either some of Windows KB updates did this or i missed something during installation. SSD is fine, i ran checks on it.
One thing i noticed that both "special" partitions - System Recovery and EFI are 100% free.
