Upgraded to SSD. Windows is broken.

[Harrison D]

I recently added a Samsung M.2 500gb and a Samsung SATA SSD 1TB to my existing build, upgrading from my WD blue 1TB. I wanted to move windows to the M.2 but the Samsung software could only move it to the SATA SSD, which I was willing to settle for until I could move it to the M.2. The migration went fine, and I eventually figured out how to make windows run from the SATA SSD. And the old WD drive was wiped. Everything was working and I even restarted the system several times.  Now today I try to boot up windows and *slat* nothing. It went to the lock screen once and then a black screen. I restart and it takes me to recovery settings. I tried everything except the command prompted and the full wipe.

 

I went to Microsoft and they had nothing for me.  Please help guys and gals.

What boot settings does your BIOS show? Is it booting from the right drive?

When windows was working it showed the windows icon on the Samsung ssd. I'm in the bios now but I'm not sure how to find the boot drive.

 

Thanks for replying so soon @Radium_Angel

Oh boy...

Your motherboard manual will list where this stuff is.

Haha you might think so..

I can only find the boot settings and not the actual drive it's booting from. I there a way from the recovery menu? 

Every option I tried hit an error except the full wipe. And I don't know how to use the command prompt.

 

UPDATE:

Think I found the boot drive options. It's loading now so we'll see.
