Windows 10: Please help! Can't boot windows 10 from SSD after fresh install.

So I recently bought an SSD and was really excited to install it and get it up and running. But after installing windows 10 on the SSD, it won't boot windows from the SSD. It is an Nvme SSD that I've installed on my motherboard with a pcie adapter into my free pcie slot. So the SSD isn't detected in UEFI/BIOS but is detected by windows 10 installer on my USB and within windows when I boot from another older HDD. I've tried disconnecting all other HDDs but it still isn't being detected by my BIOS.

Motherboard is an MSI H77ma-g43. Does anyone know what the issue could be?

Please help. Messed up SSD after installing windows 10 from usb

Hi all. I would really appreciate inputs to help fixing my Samsung 840evo sdd

I originally had windows installed on the ssd. But I wanted to install windows onto my 1tb HD (because reasons) so I created a bootable usb to install windows 10. The windows install on the HD went fine .

BUT during the installation wizard, I messed with the ssd partitions: I deleted the system reserve (150mb ish) & primary and to try to create only 1 whole partition for the ssd. I thought I was able to "create new" the sdd and just went on with the windows install on the HD.

But now when I boot into windows 10 on the hd, my sdd is not recognized/shown.

I tried:
1. Running the windows install wizard again to see if I can create new partition for the ssd but it's only showing 0mb and can't "extend" or "new"
2. Open disk management from control panel. The first thing the disk management prompt is that it ask me to initialize disk with either "MBR" or "GPT"
GPT: disk is not convertible because size is less than minimum required for GPT disk
MBR: system can't find the specified

So I guess windows is able to recognize there's a "foreign" disk but I can't seem to initialize it.

Any help is much appreciated

 

windows 10 slow boot

I was having a slow boot issue on my Windows 7 install a little while back. It would take about 30 - 40 extra seconds to boot up for whatever reason.

I would try following these steps, while this didn't solve my issue, it did increase Read/Write to where it should be.

In the end, I had to reinstall my Windows 7 entirely to fix the booting issue. It was taking around 35 seconds to boot, and after the fresh install it takes about 7 seconds to boot.
