    Question Installed Windows 10 with new SSD, Can't boot without old drive connected.

    Hello! Been having some issues with my new drive but got past pretty much all of them. Thought I was in the clear once I got the windows media creation tool to work.

    Question Windows boot drive not detected after disabling CSM

    I wanted to disable CSM so my secureboot could be supported for W11 but when I do, it only boots into BIOS and shows my secondary hard drive which doesn't have windows. My boot drive is also on GPT.

    [SOLVED] New M.2 prevents normal boot sequence. When M.2 is removed everything goes back to normal.

    When I installed my new wdblack m.2 it just boots straight to bios. When I try to boot manually from my normal boot drive (sandisk) it doesn't work. If I take out the M.2 it just follows the normal boot sequence into windows like normal. What's going on?
