Hey Forum.

Okay let me get right into it, I recently bought a Samsung 960 EVO SSD, put it in and installed windows on it, but every time i restart my pc I have to manually boot from it, also only lets me see it if I have my windows disc in, it doesn't show up when I try set it as a priority boot drive.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

According to your motherboard's manual, it will disable SATA connector SATA3_0 (SATA 0) when an M.2 SSD is connected. Make sure that you do not have a drive connected to that port and see if that changes anything.
