Windows 10: 2 boot options

HI Group,
I just put an SSD drive in my new Dell XPS 8920 desktop. I used Macrium Reflect to Clone the HDD to The SSD. I then wiped the HDD. So now I have one operating system on the SSD which works fine. The problem is that I now get 2 boot options. They are both exactly the same, "Windows 10 on volume 4." So, my question is how can I get rid of this blue screen offering the 2 options and boot right to desktop?
Appreciate your help.

:)

Boot options

Hi Prabhat,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

Lets follow the below step and check if it helps.

If you would like to remove the rollback option from the boot up experience:

• From the Start menu or the Search icon, search for cmd.
• Press-and-hold or right-click Command Prompt from the search results and select
  Run as administrator
• Type bcdedit /timeout 0 at the command prompt and hit ENTER

You can get the uninstall option back in the boot menu by following these steps again, but change the
timeout value to something between 1 and 30, instead of zero.


A few words of warning about the new Uninstall feature:

• 
  
  • If you run Uninstall, you’ll need to know your password from your previous OS.　 Account information is not saved from Windows 10 Technical Preview.　 Instead, the accounts from your previous OS will be put back in its entirety.
    
  • Any built-in, modern apps from Windows 8.1 that were updated or replaced for Technical Preview will not work after you Uninstall back to Windows 8.1.　 You can repair these apps by uninstalling the app manually and then re-downloading
    them from the Windows Store.
  • There are several ways you can inadvertently break or disable the Uninstall feature:
    
    • Running Reset or Refresh on Tech Preview will remove the Uninstall option
    • Running Disk Cleanup and removing the Windows.old folder will remove the Uninstall option
      
    • Adding a new user account in Tech Preview will remove the Uninstall option
    • Removing individual files from the Windows.old folder, without deleting the whole folder, may still allow the Uninstall option to be run.　 However if you do, Uninstall
      
    • may not only fail, it may cause your PC to fail to boot into Windows.

HI,
How did you wipe the original hdd ?
Seems it might still have the active flag ?
I use free mini tool possibly clean it with that.

Press Windows + R key. Run msconfig

Click on the boot tab. Delete the boot entry for the OS that is not set as default.

 

Thanks for your replies.

I wiped the HDD with DBAN.

I went to msconfig/boot tab and there is only one OS entry there.

 

Command prompt (Admin) (or "run as administrator" command prompt)

bcdedit

then

bcedit /delete {guid}

replace {guid} with the identifier of the Windows boot entry that you don't want. The string of numbers and letters goes inside {} for example:
bcdedit /delete {ec06c16a-caf8-11e7-b1ac-10c37ba1c52b}
