    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.

  3. SSD Drive as Boot Drive and HDD Drive as Storage, how do I do it?

    Remove the HDD. Install Windows on SSD. Then insert the HDD. Now SSD should be your boot drive with HDD as a storage drive.

    If Windows doesn't boot,

    1) Check Boot priority in BIOS and set your SSD on top of the list.

    2) If still doesn't work, then create a 200MB Fat32 partition on the HDD(call it whatever you want) then boot into the windows 10 installer via a usb, launch command prompt with SHIFT + F10 and run the following:

    bcdboot C:\Windows /l en-en /s B: /f UEFI

    where B: is the drive letter for the 200MB partition (it could be any other drive letter for you).

    Note: the drive letter with windows could be different, so either poke around command prompt to find out or launch DISKPART and run show volumes to find the partition.

    The only downside to this solution is that if the HDD fails you lose boot capabilities. To get around this you could create a ISO of the 200mb boot drive and upload it for safe keeping and burn it to a usb flash disk in case of emergencies.

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

    New SSD wont boot

    Hi John

    Boot into BIOS, is SATA Mode set to AHCI to enable booting from an SSD drive?

    Is the SSD drive set a top of the Boot Priority list?

    Did you try connecting that SSD to the SATA Port normally used by your old HDD?
