Booting

Hi, so first of all i am a complete noob on pc stuff. I recently finished building my new PC and i installed Windows on my HDD instead of my SSD. After talking to a friend i wanted to have my Windows on my SDD instead so i installed it on my SSD without unplugging my HDD. After, I wanted to...

Good day! As I’m still new to changing out hardware in PCs, I thought it’d be good to ask here before I venture out and do something silly. I’ve just purchased a new SSD, this time one that uses the M.2 slot. Today, I just use an ordinary, quite old SSD that utilizes a SATA cable to connect...

Is there a way to move the boot partition from HDD to SSD(NVME) while the OS partition is already on the SSD partition without loosing any data and reinstalling w10? When I was installing w10 on SSD, the installer created boot partition on HDD which I didn't unplugged before the installation.I...

I've has an MSI B550 Gaming Edge Wifi Mobo for about a month. The boot led will occasionally stay on after booting. There do not seem to be any other symptoms of a boot issue. Oftentimes if I restart, the led will not stay on. Is this something I should be concerned about?

So basically I got a new MSI Gaming PC (used) with a 128gb SSD (the one that I boot with) and a 2tb HDD. I am not good at computers so I need to know how to change my booting drive. On the internet I found that I have to use the boot menu to change it but then it says that I need to enter a...

I am planning on upgrading my PC again , this time I am in need of a better GPU and I have never had an SSD so I've been looking into different SSDs recently. I really like the look of the WD Blue SN550 PCIe NVMe SSD and I found some things said about old motherboards not supporting booting from...

So, upon my old motherboard frying I replaced all my parts and realized it won’t let me boot from my old SSD with Windows and my files in it. Is there any way I can avoid buying a new SSD. I still have the old license to the Windows 10 (it’s OEM). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's not really a problem I don't think but... Sometimes (Not all the times) whenever I go to press the button to turn on my PC, it turns off for around 2 seconds and then boots back up - nothing bad happens, it just boots up as normal, no boot loop, no errors, it will never turn off by itself...
