I'm having Dell Inspiron 5570. Its specifications are 8GB RAM, 4GB Graphics Card, 2TB HDD, i5 8th Generation processor. It also supports SSD so I purchased Samsung 970 Evo Series - 250GB PCIE NVMe and cloned the HDD to the SSD. The laptop became much faster than usual when I changed the boot sequence to SSD. Now the problem was that the Samsung Magician Software was not detecting the SSD and when I was installing the SSD driver so a popup comes and says that the device is not connected. I searched on the internet and found that I have to change the SATA operations to AHCI. I changed it to AHCI but now it was not booting so I further searched on the internet and found that I have to reinstall the WIndows in the SSD or I have to change the registry. I reinstalled the windows.

Now when the windows are installed in SSD the Samsung Magician Software is detecting the SSD and the driver was also installed successfully but now windows is not detecting the HDD.

So I again changed the SATA operations from AHCI to RAID On and Windows started detecting HDD.

Can anyone please help me get through this problem.

I also want that I can run Windows in SSD and make a partition in HDD and install Parrot OS in it.

Is it possible that during turning On the PC default boot should be the Windows and in the Fast boot I could boot to Parrot OS.

Can anyone please help me and tell me each and every step to do all this.

You can use a boot loader like GNU GRUB2 to boot to the operating systems. When you turn on the system it will give you the option to boot to Windows or Parrot OS. I don't know if Parrot OS installs GRUB though (I think it probably will, if Windows is installed first at least), I have never used it but you can install it manually (I can't tell you though because I haven't had to install it manually and I don't know how)
