Help with Booting issues.

[Archangel0312]

Hi. I need help with booting off of my new SSD.  I cloned the HDD to the SSD so the SSD does have windows 10 other system files on it.  I want to boot from the SSD and not the HDD, then I want to be able to delete windows and system files from the HDD.  I have tried to boot to the SSD from the bios, and the computer doesn't recognize windows 10.  I also have changed the boot order in Bios to boot from the SSD.  Sometimes the computer boots very quickly, (quicker than when it was just the HDD) but I don't know if the computer is booting from he SSD or if it is just the HDD.  

The issue with just deleting Windows from the Hard Drive is that trusted installer doesn't allow me to do such.  

I am just wondering what I can do, I would rather not take this to a computer guy and have to spend $50+ 

 

Thanks, 
Caleb

Pull your HDD and test if it can boot from the SSD alone. If it can and you are confident its all working just delete the partitions on the HDD and reformat it.

How did you clone your HDD to SSD just out of interest?
