You shouldn't have cloned the drive. Instead you should've just reinstalled the OS from scratch. Also, your primary boot device should be Windows Boot Manager. Are you on the latest BIOS update for your laptop?

Usually a BIOS will have a boot priority list but it will also have a second list were you can give priority to each individual choice.
So you leave it on HDD boot but you change the HDD list so that the SSD is on top of this list.

That wouldn't help much unless he would be cool with losing all that storage space of the HDD,since as soon as he would reconnect the HDD he would be in this same situation again.

If you select any item on the list you posted does it show you another list?
Otherwise show us pics from every tab in your bios.

Try turning off secure boot and/or change from UEFI to CSM/legacy.

You can run the free version of easyBCD that will allow you to add the SSD as a boot option to the windows start menu if that works you can make that the default and use it without a countdown (do not delete the old HDD menu item) so it will directly boot into the SSD,it will still do that from the BCD of the HDD but at least it will do so automatically.
