I don’t understand completely what your problem is but 1st check boot order in your bios

onyx bridge Nov 14, 2022, 1:14 PM

#

the ssd isnt showing up in my bios

#

it directly boots into windows boot manager

sleek steeple Nov 14, 2022, 1:15 PM

#

Windows boot manager on your old drive?

onyx bridge Nov 14, 2022, 1:15 PM

#

yep

#

so boot time is still slow

sleek steeple Nov 14, 2022, 1:16 PM

#

You have windows installed on ssd?

onyx bridge Nov 14, 2022, 1:16 PM

#

yep

#

windows 10 on ssd and windows 11 on hdd

sleek steeple Nov 14, 2022, 1:17 PM

#

Ahh

#

So it will boot directly into your ssd if you disconnect your hdd?

onyx bridge Nov 14, 2022, 1:17 PM

#

i cant disconnect my hdd

#

sleek steeple Nov 14, 2022, 1:18 PM

#

Thing is, you have to change the boot order, if it doesn’t show up in your bios that’s a problem to fix

onyx bridge Nov 14, 2022, 1:18 PM

#

i have done the same thing on my pc where disconnecting the hard drive is relatively easier

sleek steeple Nov 14, 2022, 1:19 PM

#

Ofc you can

#

If you want

onyx bridge Nov 14, 2022, 1:19 PM

#

how do i do that?

#

i know how to reset to factory but how would i remove windows

sleek steeple Nov 14, 2022, 1:22 PM

#

Wiping the drive won’t change the boot order for sure however it will defenetly boot faster cause it mooves on quickly if it doesn’t find an OS. Second thing you could do to fix boot order is disconnect hdd, do a startup, then bios will maybe change the boot order automatically

#

onyx bridge how do i do that?

Go into your ssd windows installation and format the hdd

onyx bridge Nov 14, 2022, 1:22 PM

#

sleek steeple Nov 14, 2022, 1:22 PM

#

You will loose all data on your hdd

#

You prob know but in case you don’t know

#

LOL

onyx bridge Nov 14, 2022, 1:23 PM

#

sleek steeple You will loose all data on your hdd

#

up

sleek steeple Nov 14, 2022, 1:23 PM

#

Make sure to unplug any other drive besides your ssd and hdd when you format

#

So you don’t format the wrong drive

onyx bridge Nov 14, 2022, 1:24 PM

sleek steeple Nov 14, 2022, 1:26 PM

onyx bridge Nov 14, 2022, 1:26 PM

sleek steeple Nov 14, 2022, 1:27 PM

#

onyx bridge Nov 14, 2022, 1:29 PM

From what I understand it is possible you installed windows on your HDD beside your old windows installation. If this is true, this would explain that you can’t see your ssd as an option for your boot Order because it doesn’t contain an operating system to boot from because you didn’t install your new installation on your ssd but on your hdd beside you old installation.

#

He can go into windows

#

Make a windows installation usb

#

Boot onto that

#

Install windows

onyx bridge Nov 14, 2022, 2:00 PM

hollow haven Nov 14, 2022, 2:00 PM

onyx bridge Nov 14, 2022, 2:02 PM

#

sleek steeple It’s possible you installed windows twice on your hdd

i really dont think so as the new windows is much more responsive and my old hard drive was much slower

sleek steeple Nov 14, 2022, 2:15 PM

#

You can boot now with no boot manager in between?
