    Windows 10 won't boot after second drive install


    I have a 1tb m.2 with windows 10 and I was creating a sata ssd for my friend. I went through the normal process, the USB, setup, chose the correct disk and it worked perfectly fine, but now it recognizes my main drive as the second one and bios recognizes it as a bootable device but it won't boot, please help. I'll list some specs of the PC that could help with finding a solution. What I think it is is that it now thinks my m.2 is a second drive so it removed its ability to run windows.Motherboard gigabyte ds3h b450mCPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3400g

    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.

    Looks to be similar to this: SSD Optimization for Windows


    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.
