If you cloned the drive properly (meaning that it's a bootable drive), you need to set the boot order in the BIOS. You need to essentially "tell" the BIOS to start the PC from another hard drive than it usually did and this setting should be called something like "Boot Priority", "Boot Order" etc. There should be a "boot" tab somewhere in the BIOS.

If that doesn't help and your PC still boots from the old drive despite setting otherwise in the BIOS, it means that the OS wasn't cloned properly and the BIOS cannot detect the boot information on the drive, let us know if that's the case.

Right first of all, you need to clone the hdd to the ssd, then in your bios set the ssd as the boot drive, once you've done this shut down the pc, power off, unplug sata from the HDD and boot, this is to confirm your ssd will boot to windows, if successful shut down, plug in sata to hdd, make sure ssd is still boot drive in bios then proceed to windows, open disk manager and then select the hard drive, format, you will remove all data from it and can now use it as storage.

you know how to get into your bios? if not keep pressing delete until you get into the bios, there will be a BOOT PRIORITY section, you will need to set it so the SSD is the boot drive in the very first position. 

Go to the MSI website and download the manual, or if you have an actual manual in your motherboard box, read that. You should never ever do asnything in life without first researching the subject you intend to do. You can't expect people to do everything for you, sorry if that sounds harsh but you already have the information at hand from the mobo manufactuer at your disposal, they know better than anyone in here or any youtuber.

 

Tl;Dr: Read the manual that came with your motherboard.
