Start up issues

[22350]

Hi Everyone,

 

I dropped an nvme, with windows 11 into one of the two nvme ports on my windows 10 machine.  The goal was to clone it to boot from it and clone it over to a larger nvme drive, to be used on another machine.  

 

When I put it in, it started setting up, but got stuck, because the machine didn't meet windows 11 requirements.

 

So I pulled the drive and put the original windows 10 nvme back.  Now the computer isn't finding the drive to start.  If I go into bios and reset it to defaults, the machine starts normally.  The next time I reboot, it doesn't see the drive again.

 

I have reinstalled windows and tried to the start up trouble shooter.

Did you mess with CSM and/or secure boot at some point?

No.  just pulled the windows 10 nvme and dropped in the windows 11 nvme.  When it was apparent that it wasn't going to start, I put it back.
