Windows 10: Slow boot up after fresh install on new m.2 drive

Hello all first post here I did a brand new installation of windows on my new m.2 drive I used a usb to do that and installed Windows 10 pro on my new sn850 1 TV m.2 drive . Since doing so windows takes upto a minute to load on my old samsung 980 Evo took a matter of seconds . I am also experiencing a small bit of lag in windows by lag I mean try to open settings it sometimes just hangs or will open a box and not let me change anything . Never experienced any of this on the old drive . The new drive is in the same place the old one was and is twice the speed . I have disabled all start up programs etc . Also disabled quick boot in both bios and windows and hasn't made a difference it's like the pc just hangs in the gigabyte screen the a spinning cycle starts then finally boot into windows . I do not understand what is causing the lag I sometimes get and also the slow boot . The only suggestion I have is that something went wrong along the way with the installation and drivers . Should I just do a fresh install again . ?

Fresh Install of Windows 10 on new M.2 SSD not being recognized in BIOS

Hello, I recently got a new M.2 SSD that I installed in my motherboard on my desktop PC. I decided to do a fresh install of Windows 10 through USB installation media, which appeared to go smoothly. When rebooting into the installation, Windows Boot Manager
loads and gives me two options to boot to, Volume 6 and Volume 4 (Volume 6 being Windows 10 on the new SSD, I assume Volume 4 being Windows 10 on the old drive, which I had not yet reformatted). Booting this way works fine, however if I shut down the PC, remove
the old drive, then boot back up, the BIOS does not recognize any connected hard drive as having a bootable OS. If I go into the boot menu it recognizes that the M.2 is there in the boot order, but doesn't recognize a Windows installation on it.

For reference, I did select the correct hard drive during Windows installation, and the M.2 is formatted in GPT. If I reconnect the old drive it works fine. However, my plan was to wipe the old drive to free up space, and use the new one as the primary OS,
which currently I can't do if I can't boot with it soley.

Any ideas?

 

Fresh Install of Windows 10 on new M.2 SSD not being recognized in BIOS

Hi,

Seems boot loader was placed to old drive.

I'd suggest to reinstall Windows with only M.2 drive attached.
