    Switching from SATA SSD to M.2 SSD?


    Just built a new PC for the company I work for. It has two hard drives, a SATA SSD and an M.2 SSD. They have an IT company who is in charge of installing windows and network setup and the guy installed Windows 10 to the SATA instead of the M.2. I tried to switch this using System Image Recovery but it did not work and now the M.2 is allocated as the D drive. Is there any way to switch this over or am I now stuck with this configuration?

    :)

    SATA SSD and M.2 SSD

    i was with a ssd sata and now i have ssd m.2, i formatted and put windows 11 in m.2, but i did not remove the ssd sata, i can only boot windows with the ssd sata connected, if i remove it windows does not boot to m.2



    obs: windows was installed on m.2 but the ssd sata was still connected, but windows was 100% installed on m.2, is there any way I can set m.2 as primary? (when i removed the ssd sata it did not recognize windows)

    Sorry for my bad English

    Hello Wilian, how are you?

    My name is Paloma B., I am very happy to be able to try to help you in the best possible way.

    This is an open community, whenever you need you can share the problem so that possible repairs are suggested.

    Mirando la pantalla de impresión, creo que las particiones no se crearon correctamente.

    En ese caso, te sugiero que desconectes el SSD Sata y dejes solo el M.2.

    Después de eso, vuelva a realizar la instalación limpia de Windows 11 para solucionarlo.

    De esa forma arrancará correctamente desde nuestro disco SSD.

    cloning sata ssd to m.2 nvme

    Hi so i'm planning on building a new pc and my main storage drive on it will be an m.2 nvme and i want to clone my current pc's main sata ssd with my windows install on it to the new pc, I already know how to clone sata ssd to m.2 nvme and keep all my old files and keep windows but i'm wondering if there will be any hardware problems since my new pc will have a completely different motherboard, cpu and gpu, if there is any hardware problems is there anyway to get around it? or would i just have to install windows by itself on the new m.2 nvme and then afterward copy all the files except windows from the old ssd
