Okay, so 2 days ago i installed an M.2 Samsung 850 EVO 500GB into my laptop. I have a MSI PE60, which supports m.2

The ssd shows on my laptop under "My PC". It allowed me to clone my disk C to the ssd and it shows under BIOS under storage information as Samsung evo 500.1GB. However it won't let me boot with it and i have selected ACHI and it still wont let me boot, its not even under boot priorities, bios type is UEFI

I am a newbie :3

Please help me boot from my SSD
 



Would you be able to go into detail on how you got this working and what mistakes you were making? Also, could you mention where is the m.2 port in the PE60? I'm thinking of getting this laptop, but looking at a photo of the back taken off I can't immediately recognise where the m.2 port is. Was taking the laptop apart and inserting the disk easy?
