    M.2 and Bios boot settings

    Update, I re-cloned the m.2 and put all the partitions on it instead of just the primary "c:" on it. I have taken the hard drive out and it will now boot up...., but, I have to do it through bios. It lists my m.2, my CD-ROM, and my boot mgr Samsung 500gb m.2. Those three options, but I cannot...

    M.2 and Bios boot settings

    Ok, I just removed the hard drive and booted. Bios page comes up. My menu is such: main, advanced, boot, security, save & exit. I opened boot. It shows no boot device, only this....: Fast boot (enabled), Add new boot option, Delete boot option. That's it. Where do I go from here? Obviously...

    M.2 and Bios boot settings

    Yes, before I did anything, I backed up my computer with an image also to my external passport hard drive. It is on there. Then I just cloned directly from my hard drive to my m.2, but I did not include the recovery part of the partition. I'm wondering now if I should re-clone the M.2 adding...

    cloned and booting....now what

    That makes great sense. I'm worried that if I clear the main hard drive, that my cloned m.2 might not have the files needed to run everything. Wish I was smarter about this stuff. I for one really appreciate those of you who share your knowledge! Thank you!

    M.2 and Bios boot settings

    One last question regarding booting with m.2; if the m.2 is ok (which it seems to be) if I slide the hard drive out, should it still boot up, or does the hard drive need to be in the to make a connection. I'm just wondering if a laptop cannot boot without something there in place. In my bios it...

    M.2 and Bios boot settings

    You were close. 1tb sad hard drive and 500gb m.2. My real questions are;1) can I now empty the original harddrive to recover the space since I cloned the info to the m.2? 2) what do I do to use the two ssd's together to increase its speed and power?
