Hey I just got a new laptop (MSI Tuf A15) and it has a nvme drive with an OS on it already, now I transfered my original HDD data to a new SSD but for some reason I can't set the original SSD in bios, any idea what's going on?
No, its not that the NVMe is tied to the laptop, but rather the old OS is (mostly) tied to that original system.So basically what you're saying is that nvme is tied to the laptop and I'm not able to boot from a different drive? If so that's ridiculous, what happens when i finally do upgrade my drive?
As far asapps and personal files....yes, I have over 150 gig of data that I really don't want to redownload. I have access to the drive when I boot it up but some of the apps aren't functioning right because I can't boot from that drive.
set original ssd as what?I can't set the original SSD in bios,
You imported this 2.5" drive from some other system, and wish to use it as the boot drive?No that's the primary drive, I'm trying to set me 2.5" ssd as the priority.
Your board don't supports memory overclocking.. you will be limited to CPU rated Memory speed... Max to max 3000mhz
Yes this, I was thinking just pulling the nvme out altogether but I'd like to keep it in with the added storage. This was a brand new purchase so the OS came preloaded on it.You imported this 2.5" drive from some other system, and wish to use it as the boot drive?
And there is already an OS on the original NVMe drive?
So you leave the OS on the drive the system came with.Yes this, I was thinking just pulling the nvme out altogether but I'd like to keep it in with the added storage. This was a brand new purchase so the OS came preloaded on it.
Which SSD?But it won't let me boot from the SSD.
WHY are you trying to use a drive from a different system, as the boot drive in a new PC that already has the OS installed on an NVMe drive?
What "files"? Just personal stuff?Because that transplanted drive has all my files installed on it and since the nvme isn't large enough to transfer to it AND I don't know how to transfer to an nvme anyways, is it the same way as transferring to a SSD or HDD? Oh yeah I can't afford a 1 tb nvme drive either.
Why can't you boot from nvme drive and access data on 2.5"drive?Because that transplanted drive has all my files installed on it and since the nvme isn't large enough to transfer to it
So basically what you're saying is that nvme is tied to the laptop and I'm not able to boot from a different drive? If so that's ridiculous, what happens when i finally do upgrade my drive?What "files"? Just personal stuff?
You can't use this other drive in the laptop. Either the actual drive, or a clone of it.
The laptop has its own OS and license.
Copy your personal files, sure.
Applications and the OS? No, nand you don't want to.
I can but some of the apps aren't functioning right for some reason.Why can't you boot from nvme drive and access data on 2.5"drive?
no. we are saying because the old system is different, you can't boot from it.So basically what you're saying is that nvme is tied to the laptop and I'm not able to boot from a different drive? If so that's ridiculous, what happens when i finally do upgrade my drive?

you can't just run it from the new os. reinstall the appsI can but some of the apps aren't functioning right for some reason.

Which drive and reload with what?Damn, one last thing if I need to wipe the drive how exactly am i gonna reload it?
1. You can create your own Win 10 USB or DVD, direct from MicrosoftThe operating system, I bought the laptop new but it didn't come with the OS disc. It's an Asus TUF F15 laptop with the i5 and Windows 10.
