How to change boot drive

[Ronin64]

Hi,

I installed a Samsung 850 EVO in my computer and cloned it with the included software. Now I would like to make that my boot drive, but I'm having problems. I went into the bios to change the boot order, but when I select Hard Drive BBS Prioritizes to pick the new drive I see two drives called "Windows Boot Manager". I tried swapping them in the list then saving the settings, but it freezes when saving.

 

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

try the ufei boot instead of the disk drive boot

Your boot priorities don't matter (much), what matters is what drive the OS is on.

Hey Ronin64,

 

Did you delete the boot partition of the old drive after you cloned the OS to the SSD? I would go to BIOS, make sure the SSD is before the HDD in the boot order, make sure you are actually booting from it, go to Disk Management and delete the OS/boot partition from your old drive. A screenshot of your Disk Management would be helpful.
