I recently installed a new Samsung 860 EVO 500GB and installed Windows 10 on it. Before that I had a 240GB SSD and I had Win10 installed on that drive.

 

When I got the new SSD, I installed it in my pc, then installed Win10 on it. When I rebooted my PC I got the option to choose between the 240GB SSD and the new 500GB SSD, I didn't (don't) need Win10 on the old SSD so I formatted the drive (properly). But now I still get the option to boot from the old 240GB SSD (but Win10 isn't installed anymore).

 

How do I get rid of this annoying thing?

(When I click "Change defaults" I can change the default Volume to boot from and change the timer (5 sec is minimum))

 

Volume 3 is the old 240GB SSD

Volume 2 is the new 500GB SSD

Reinstall Windows?

No. That will not fix it

My solution should work for you as well.

I just ignored it to be honest, I just thought it was funny but it didn't affect the operation of laptop at all. It was only during the Windows 10 install process i noticed it, advanced configuration menu. I could still boot in fine. 

 

It's just another bug in WIndows 10 I guess :dry:
