So my friend got his Samsung 970 EVO 500GB SSD in yesterday in hopes that he would be able to get a much faster start up for his apps and his OS for his GT73VR 6re.
So he cloned the OS from his HDD and got the EFI from the Sandisk SSD, but now when he goes into the BIOS to change the boot option to the SSD, the only drive it shows is labeled as “[Hard Disk: Windows Boot Manager (P1: Samsung SSD 970 EVO 500GB)]”. He can’t boot from the SSD by itself, there is no option.
Also when you check the storage devices, it still lists the C drive (the original HDD) as the boot drive and not the SSD.
Any idea what we’re doing wrong or what the issue is?
