Make my ssd run my windows 10 automatically?

Rickyy

Hello, I recently bought an SSD and a 2TB HDD. 

First I opened my case from the back and plugged the two cables into my ssd, pretty sure I got that well.

Then I plugged in my usb with windows 10 in it, and proceeded to install it into my ssd. Once that was done, I booted my pc and windows gave my 2 options, boot windows on Disk 2 (old hdd) Or Disk 1 ( new ssd ) I pressed ssd and I completed every step that windows introduces you at the beginning. I then decided I could get rid of my old hdd, but here I got the problem. If I boot my ssd alone, when I open my pc it says I have to boot the pc with an acceptable boot device, and all I can do is close the pc .

 

I would appriciate any help, I would like to complete this without having to ask a technic to do it cause I think it's not that difficult.

 

Thanks

 

 

 

I tried going to bios and making it the 1 device to boot.

By the way, when I have the option to boot on the ssd, windows works perfectly.

Remove the HDD, reinstall Windows to the SSD, boot into the SSD. Afterwards, move all of the files you need from the HDD to somewhere else, format the HDD, and move the files back to the HDD.

That's because you kept your HDD plugged in whilst installing windows onto your SSD, windows boot manager or whatever it's called will be installed on the HDD and thus you need both for booting. Only solution I've used is reinstall windows while keeping only the SSD installed.
