Try connecting the drive directly to your motherboard using a sata cable and a open sata port on your board.

ok try installing Linux on the new Solid State Drive
now the reason why you are installing Linux is to see if you will get a display after installation
if you do get display its Probably a windows 10 prob;em
if you don't get any display probably hardware

I'm not sure why but when I turned the pc of and on again a couple of times the display worked fine and Windows 10 went on to install and configure no problem at all.
I guess it was just one of those things, it would still be handy to check the health state of the old hard drive even though its not in use anymore.

I think what happen is that windows 10 was failing to install the video driver
when you turn system back on & off windows 10 finally got video driver install
what I would have done if the problem was still happening is inject the video driver from manufacturer into the windows 10 ISO
so when windows 10 are installing it would install the video driver from the manufacturer
Ajaay27 make sure you update the video driver
yeah it would be handy to check I am intersected to see what it say

It was probably the failure to install the video driver as Compton pointed out, or some other issue with the install
If the DVI to VGA adapter was the problem, the display wouldn't have worked at all
