    Can`t get my laptop to boot from m.2 SSd instead of old HDD


    Hi fams, so basically today I recieved my order for my 240 Gb M.2 SSD, all nice and fancy. Everything alright with the installation, I own an 2018 HP OMEN-15, removed the battery, installed the ssd, cloned OS to ssd via Macrium Reflect, shut down the laptop, removed the battery again, removed the connection pin for the hdd, booted up right away from the ssd, then I went through reconnecting the pins for the HDD( didn`t format it because I have something on the C drive, some music plugins that I don`t really want to lose) but this time, it booted from hdd instead of ssd. I pressed F9 to open the boot order from bios, went on efi, selected the long name with pci then selected boot and it booted again from ssd but everytime i restart my laptop it boots by default from hdd. Any tips on how to get the ssd to be the default booting device without having to format my hdd? Thank you in advance!

    :)
