Windows 10: Moving a boot manager of Windows 11 to another disk

Hello everyone. Recently I bought a new HDD for my laptop as my old one is lagging and I don't want to lose my files by storing them on the old one. Currently, I have SSD and HDD on my laptop and Windows is installed on SSD, but the boot manager partition is on HDD. That is because, firstly, Windows was installed on HDD, and when I installed it on SSD, it remained there. So the question is, what is the easiest way to move this system partition from HDD to SSD without using the USB drive?I found two guides which seem to do the work, but I want to make sure they are safe and could be used in my

Disk management console view is not up-to-date

i dont know how to fix your disk management, but i can fix your partition problems...




open up Command Prompt with admin rights. (Right click, run as admin)


enter in
DISKPART
list disk

then find the Disk number for your Raid array... lets call it number 7 ( you can tell what disk is what by the total size)
type in

Select Disk 7
List Partition (will give you a list of all the partitions..)
Select Partition 1 (im assuming you only have 1 partition on Disk 7) repeat this step if you have more partitions.
ASSIGN


that should get the array up and running ready to use.


EDITED.

any problems, post back ^^

side question, have you tried restarting the PC?

 

Disk Management

Hi Keith,

Thanks for providing the detail that was requested previously. Since the disk management screen that you saw is showing greyed out options, we suggest that you follow the steps below to change the partition type of your internal drive:

• Open Disk Management then right click the partition on the disk you want to covert and select Delete Volume.
• Once you complete the process you will see the whole disk shown as two separate unallocated spaces. Right-click the disk and select Convert to GPT disk.

After the conversion, you will be able to use the whole disk and then you can create new separate partitions.

We look forward to your response to our queries.

Or at the very least, make sure that your hard drive boot order is correct, because it will take the first writable drive in the boot list to determine where to put the boot loader. As Jester suggested, pop the Windows install disk in, make sure your boot order is correct (or unplug the drive,) and run repair. It's really that simple.
