Boot help

[A1_Digest]

Hey guys i installed a nvme into my system and installed windows 10 on it. i formated the other drive (drive that had my windows on before) that was connected to my pc.

 

when i start the pc it wont boot into windows unless my old drive is connected even though it was formatted.

 

what do i do?

 

i have an asus mobo

Did you install windows 10 while the old drive was still in the system? Windows has a bad habit of putting boot sectors on the wrong drive for some reason

try a fresh install with only the NVMe installed. I know it's annoying but it will probably fix the issue.

worst case.. to get bios to read the correct boot sector is reinstalling ... . delete all partitions on the nvme, as windows will build everything it needs all new.. 

it might be the quickest too.. ofcourse you can try doctoring the install etc.. but it will take longer time than just plain reinstall.
