Windows 10: Bios update reverted my boot drive to HDD from my SSD.

Hi y’all. I updated my Bios, and when my PC restarted it had changed my boot drive to my HDD from the SSD I’ve been using. At a glance my SSD still has my old apps and programs, but it no longer has windows on it. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way for me to get it booting from my SSD again without having to redownload windows as I don’t want to lose my files on my SSD. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!I had a look at the partitions, after looking at some other posts and it seems windows is really gone from it.

I couldn't find the both drive SSD and hdd in boot settings to boot

Hello, Welcome to Microsoft Community.



Thanks for your feedback, I think you're having trouble finding your SSD and HDD in the boot settings. Here are some steps you can try:



1. Make sure that both your SSD and HDD are properly connected to your computer.

2. Restart your computer and enter the BIOS settings.

3. Look for the "Boot" or "Boot Priority" section in the BIOS settings.

4. Check if your SSD and HDD are listed in the boot priority list. If they are not, try looking for an option to "Add Boot Option" or "Add New Boot Device".

5. Select your SSD or HDD from the list of available devices and set it as the first boot option.

6. Save your changes and exit the BIOS settings.



If you're still having trouble finding your SSD and HDD in the boot settings, you may want to consult your computer's manual or contact the manufacturer for further assistance.

Also, I noticed that you transferred the data to your SSD, your problem may also be caused by not correctly writing the boot information. If that's the case, you need to reinstall the system on the new hard drive to get the correct boot information, and then transfer your data to your SSD.

Disclaimer: Please back up all your important data before performing it.

Looking forward to your issue being resolved soon.

Automatic repair while booting from hdd and installing windows on ssd.

1. Migrated windows from hdd to ssd
   
2. Formatted hdd
   
3. Prioritised boot from ssd in bios
   
4. Turned on the pc
   
5. Automatic repair
   

To deal with this I select boot from a device > then EFI USB device > it says no bootable USB detected, select from these drives > there are few options including the newly installed ssd > I select ssd > then it shows disk checking, press any key to stop > I stop it > windows then boots from ssd.

It very difficult to repeat all this everytime I turn on my pc. Please suggest a fix.

 

Changing Boot Drive from HDD to SSD

Trying to understand here.

Do you have Win-10 installed on a HDD and on a SSD?

If so are you asking how to get your system to boot from the SSD opposed the HDD?

If you don't get an option of seeing a boot option at the beginning of the BIOS process {mine is to press ESC to see boot menu] check with the manufacturer. There HAS to be a key which does that.

Another possibility is: If both drives are SATA just switch the cables and reboot.

Check your Configuration file and see if 2 OSs are listed.

As you can see here, I have mine set to dual-boot. Win-10 on a HDD and Win-7 on a SSD.
