    Fresh windows install on a dual drive laptop


    Hey! I own a Lenovo IdeaPad S340. It only had a HDD before I decided to install an SSD to it. I have installed a WD Green M.2 SSD and now I want to boot windows from the SSD. I have about 80 gb of data on my HDD. I will be keeping the HDD in the pc for storage. I own genuine windows 10 along an office subscription. Kindly help.
    I would love a step by step guide.

    :)

    Fresh windows install help.

    Hi.
    I have Samsung Series 7 NP7005ZA-S0AUS laptop pc. I decided to do a fresh windows install so I used a flash drive to re-install windows (I formatted the hard drive at the begnining of the installation). When the laptop booted first time in the installation process, I got a screen saying boot menu but it's empty. I clicked alt+ctl+de, the laptop restarts and gets me back to the same screen. I entered the bios and made sure the hd is on the top of the list and save/restarted but same issue. I tried loading bios default settings and that did not help either. I noticed in the boot menu that there are exclamation marks next to the HD and the SATA DVD drives, not sure what that means but they were not there before. I honestly think a bios update can do the trick but there is no way to upgrade the bios of a samsung laptop without Windows like my case so I am stuck.
    Any help will be very much appreciated.
    Notice: The hard drive has 8GB msata built in.
