How to change boot from HDD to SSD?

I recently installed Crucial 275 GB M2 SSD in my new Acer Aspire E5-575-33BM laptop and cloned HDD to SSD with Easy US Todo back up software. Cloning appear to be successful and on disk management menu SSD looks like it healthy and has all Windows and partition
copied and ready. Now, how to change boot from HDD to SSD? I understand I need to change boot on BIOS but not sure how to do it exactly. I tried to do it from YouTube video with changes in BIOS, but now I am not sure whether I did everything right and made
laptop to boot from SSD or it still boots from HDD. Will appreciate some instructions how to check if boot comes from SSD and if not -how to change boot to SSD.

Thanks

Changing boot drive from HDD to SSD

I have Dell desktop 8500 - came with Win 8 preloaded. Upgraded to 8.1, then 10. Added SSD and wanted to run Win off the SSD and use 2 TB HDD for storage. Made complete system backup on two separate external drives. Unplugged HDD and used recovery
Dell Media Disk (Win 8) to load Win onto SSD. (Dell had also sent me a "Drivers and Utilities" disk with the OS disk but I did not run this prior to upgrading to Win 10...not sure if this is relevant). Install worked fine. System assigned SSD drive letter
"C" and reassigned the HDD drive letters "I" and "H." ("I" was original "C" and the "H" was partition used for storage.) Upgraded to 8.1 and then 10. System starts fine, runs FAST and I can add new programs, but all the old programs...Office, Adobe, the dashboards
for my Seagate and WD external drives, etc on the HDD and programs saved to the backup drives will not run, even when moved to the SSD. Tried to reverse things by changing BIOS to have the HDD be primary boot drive and have the original Windows program run
the computer but the OS is not recognized. Tried to restore, but all the restore points on the HDD are gone. Tried third party SW (SymMover) to move the programs from the HDD or backup drives to the SSD, but this doesn't work. I get error message that the
progams (Word for example) are not compatible. Would like to avoid wipping the HDD and recoverying from the backup drives. MS techs wouldn't take a stab at a solution. Any thoughts?
