Windows 10: Cant boot from SSD, Windows Boot Manager

I have an acer Nitro 5 AN515-43 which came with a Ryzen 3550h, 12gb ram, and 1 TB HDD.

Upgraded it with a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500gb and used samsung´s data migration tool to clone the HDD drive into the new SSD decided not to format the hdd in case i ran into a problem, and somehow i really cant remember i managed to set the SSD as the boot drive for the Windows 10 OS.


Everything was working fine, computer was running extremely smooth untill today.


I tried turning it on but it never booted, just got a black screen.

I forced a shutdown pressing the power button and restarted it.


When it restarted I immediately noticed something was not right. The OS was laggy, programs werent opening as fast etc. Checked the primary drive, the SSD was still marked as the primary OS drive, the HDD was marked as a storage drive D:. Suddenly I noticed the HDD drive was making noise, so I opened task manager under the permormance tab, and I saw that whenever I opened a program, the HDD drive usage would bump up while the SSD usage wouldnt budge.


Tried restarting nothing, same as before.


Shut down, got into the BIOS actually UEFI didnt change anything, exited without saving, but this time I immediately noticed the computer booted from the HDD Drive, not only because it took waaay too long to boot, but because the moment I got into the desktop I saw that it was configured exactly the way I left it 2 months ago when I started booting from the SSD even airplane mode was on as I had to enable it to use the samsung data migration tool.


So I shut down the computer, got into the UEFI menu in order to try change the boot order, but the thing is whenever I go to the "Boot" tab, Windows Boot Manager is listed Twice, and the only item listed under "Boot Mode" is UEFI, cant even change it to Legacy, I even tried setting up a UEFI password, but still no luck.


So I tried disabling the HDD slot 0 where the hard drive is installed SDD is in slot 2, exited and everything was fixed. The computer booted super fast, everything was exactly like yesterday.


The thing is for this to work, I have to Disable the HDD slot 0, therefore my computer cant recognize the old Hard drive. But I want to use it for mass storage.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Windows booting from wrong SSD (Windows Boot Manager)

Hello there,

So i have an SSD installed, and i recently bought a used SSD that had windows on it.

After formatting the new SSD, Windows tries to boot from it and run a repair.

I have to restart my PC, go into BIOS, then into Boot Manager then choose the right SSD to boot from.

I've included a screenshot of "Disk Management" and the "Boot" section of "System Configuration".

Any help?

Thanks in advance.

 

Cant boot from SSD on new rig?!

So I currently have a 240GB Kingston 3K SSD on Computer A. I also have a HDD installed on Computer A. They both have Win7 installed on them. When I boot I'm given a choice which SSD/HDD to boot from. (AHCI active, etc) Everything works.

Problem:
I put SSD from Computer A to new computer, Computer B, and get "please select proper boot device and press any key" when I try to boot. The SSD is recognized in the BIOS and is the only boot device in the new computer! How do I get it to boot?! *Bang Head :banghead:
