Having a problem adding SSD as Bootable Drive

[John Choi]

Hello, folks. I ran into some trouble while helping my dad with his computer. He noticed unbearable speed with this computer through HDD, so I bought him SSD to make things to much faster and he was running out of storage. I did a clean windows 10 install on new SSD, went into BIOS settings and changed the boot sequence so that SSD will boot first before HDD. The problem is SSD is not recognized as a proper boot device (I plugged SSD to other machine and that was able to boot Windows 10 from the new SSD), the BIOS can detect SSD itself on his computer and I made sure SSD was detected on his old Windows OS that is installed on HDD. I've looked through the solutions on Google, but none of the solutions helped me to find an answer. 

 

TL;DR ( Had 2 drives, one as HDD and the other one as SSD. Installed Windows 10 on SSD, changed boot sequence, but the computer can only boot from HDD as if SSD was not a proper boot device. BIOS can detect SSD clearly, but it simply can't boot)

 

Thank you, LTT

Sometimes older motherboards don't support directly booting into an SSD, NVME ones especially
