SSD detected as HDD

My Unit: HP Notebook - 14-cm0015ax

AMD Ryzen™ 3 2200U

 

Bought an SSD (ADATA XPG SX6000 Lite 128GB m.2 NVMe SSD (ASX6000LNP-128GT-C) ) to upgrade my lappy. I was successful at cloning my OS using Minitool Partition Wizard. But it seems that my ssd is being detected as hdd (see picture 1). Maybe that's the reason why I can't see ssd as an option on bios setup? (see picture 2).

Calling it HDD or not doesnt matter, just programmer not bothered to give the software the ability to distinguish SSDs and HDDs from one another. They are both storage devices to the software.

So that's how it is, yeah you have a point good sirs. My issue was my SSD isn't appearing on my boot order, I want my lappy to boot using the SSD. I just thought that maybe the SSD wasn't in the boot options because of the HDD thing I mentioned above. I can't find any articles that would help me on the web.
