WIn 10 boot on wrong drive

Go to solution Solved by C2dan88,

Windows has installed the bootloader/MBR to the SSD.

 

You need to create a new one on your NVME. See the instructions in this post

Hello Nerds i think i have a unusual probleme (no, not my english)

 

i want to gift my old 120GB ssd to a friend

but i cant delete the old Win 10 files even its not my OS drive (it was my OS drive on my old PC)

my OS drive is a 500GB NVME

but without the 120GB ssd the bios doesnt detecd any OS

and when im disable my NVME in Bios and boots from my 120gb ssd, the NVME show up still as boot driver

 

I want to completely get rid of my 120gb ssd, but without it doesnt boot

knows someone how to combine the datas or something?

 

MfG House :)

Yes, shutdown your PC and Connect your USB containing the Win10 installation media. You may need to boot into BIOS first and set your USB stick as the first drive in order to boot from it.

 

As soon as the install media shows your the Install Now button hit SHIFT+F10 to enter the command prompt. Follow the instruction I linked to.
