Ruo94

I installed windows 10 on a new ssd from my computer, and decided to use that new 1 as the boot drive. however, the boot manager is still detect as old ssd on my bios. booting from my new ssd gives me the blue error screen.

is there a way to change the boot manager to my new drive without re installing? 

thanks!

Did you clean install to the new SSD?

And is there any important data on the old SSD?

I did the installation from my old windows, instead of booting from my usb. (I think thats the error right there)

My old os is still intact. I can still boot into it

I would make a USB, and select custom/advanced install and delete all the partitions off both SSDs. Then your old SSD will be clean for use as a drive, and your new SSD will be freshly setup as the boot drive
