Windows Boot Manager boot option

[ChezMak0r]

Yesterday I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7, and I switched from having the OS on my HDD to having the OS on my SSD. Now that everything is done, where I try to change the boot priority in the BIOS, Windows boot manager is listed as the first option. What is this? Do I need it? How can I get rid of it?

 

Here is how my Boot Priorities is set up:

 

1. Windows Boot Manager (P1: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB)

2. P0: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB (238475MB)

3. P1 ASUS DRW-24B1ST   c

 

It will not let me boot from my second option: the SSD.

 

Also, when I look in Disk Management, there is a 99MB partition shown for "EFI System Partition." it might be worth noting that under Secure Boot, in the BIOS, it shows the OS type as Windows UEFI mode, not sure if that means anything. 

 

Any input would be helpful, I've looked for a solution but couldn't find one. Thank you.

It's Windows boot loader.

 

Nothing's wrong.

 

Leave it.

 

As already stated that the Windows Boot Loader is loaded from the SSD.

 

UEFI is new BIOS.

 

It has GUI.

 

Not like the old blue and grey BIOS. Those are called Legacy BIOS now.

 

These stuffs are new (more like they came before 3 years ago).

 

There is nothing to worry about.

 

You are fine here

This is more than likely due to you moving from MBR to GPT. You can natively boot from MBR but you cant from GPT, it requires another small partition to point to the location of the rest of Windows.

 

 

Its fine.

I did follow instructions when installing Windows 10 to convert to GPT in the command prompt, otherwise Windows 10 wouldn't install..

My setup and Boot options are similar with that mentioned in post #1

My problem is that I want to put at Boot option 1 PXE network boot and at Boot option 2 Windows Boot Manager (P1: ......SSD disk). But if boot from option 1 fails my system does not boot from option 2, it tells me to put a bootable medium etc. Windows Boot Manager (P1) boot only if put at boot option 1, but I want it to boot also from boot option 2, is it possible?

 

Thank you!
