Windows Boot Priorities

[shantohasibul]

Hello there, I've installed my windows on Samsung 970  EVO PLUS (I'm pretty sure)

But in the motherboard bios settings it's showing that the Windows Boot Manager is Samsung EVO 860 and M.2 SSD as the 2nd option.

But if i change the boot priorities as the m.2 first and Windows boot manager (SATA SSD) 2nd the windows can't load it crashes.

Is there any problem ?

No, that's normal, you boot from the boot manager, which is a partition on the SSD.

The other partition is data only and doesn't have windows.

But the M.2 Nvme can't be a windows boot manager ? Why there's have to be 2 of them ?

And in this situation is my windows is really booting from the nvme ? I mean am i getting the real speed ?

How many SSDs do you have plugged into the PC?

2 (1TB SATA and M.2 Nvme)

First, when you install windows you should only have one drive plugged in, or it can accidentally put stuff on other drives.

Try unplugging your sata drive and if windows doesn't boot then you know you have to redo it.
