Windows 10: Windows update 20H2 warning if you have OS installed on SSD and HD

When updating to Windows 10 20H2 I had a problem due to the fact that both the SSD and a HD had a Windows operating system installed.

The update would store the information to the SSD, but during the reboot after the update it would keep booting from the HD.

After I disconnected the HD the update went as planned. However, when I reconnected the HD, it would boot from the HD again.

I never had that problem on version 1904.


I found that I needed to disable the Windows Boot Manager in the Bios and then it would always boot from the SSD.

I want to migrate the Windows OS on my HD to my SSD - HD is dying

Hello all,

My HD is dying and my OS is on the HD, how can I migrate the Windows OS to my SSD.

I can't find the Product Key because it is on me Microsoft account.

Can any give me an idea of the steps to resolve this problem

I have a new HD which I will replace and use data storage, I believe I have to change the boot up in the BIOS settings.

thanks

Installing and configuring SSD with HD

Hi,

My Desktop Computer specifications are as following:

Processor: AMD FX 8320, Motherboard: Asus M5A97,
RAM: Kingston HyperX 16 GB (8*2), HD: 1TB WD Black,
Graphics Card: 2GB Saphire 5450, SMPS: Cooler Master 650W,
OS: Windows 10 64-bit

For faster operation with multiple VMs, Nested VMs and other jobs, I am planning for using WD GREEN PC SSD 160GB with 1TB WD Black.

Currently computer is working fine with WD Black. Along with Windows 10 64-bit, all applications and VMs are installed in WD Black.

Before installing and configuring SSD with HD, please guide me as per my followings strategies;

• First of all I would like make SSD as a Primary Drive so that I can install Windows 10 64-bit, all applications (MS Office and other applications) and VMs in SSD only.
• I would like to make WD Black as a Secondary Drive.
• In case of any issues with SSD or as an optional, I would like to boot system with WD Black also so that I can do work in WD Black.

Please guide me as per above scenarios.

Regards
