[SOLVED] GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 (rev. 1.1) wont boot from the M.2 ssd I just installed please help =(

[jagermain]

So I installed the M.2 properly and it is recognized in file explorer and ive even used the space to store a large game and also play the game running from the same M.2. The problem began when i began the process of cloning my Win10 OS from my smaller SSD to migrate over to the new M.2 and it become the new boot drive. I went to bios anmd changed the boot order and every time i would try to load it would just say that i need to restart with the proper files or somethingf weird like that basically telling me to go back to BIOS and change the boot order back which I did and is how Im now writing this to anyone out there. I also do have the latest bios. I just dont know how to designate the m.2 as the boot drive and remove that privelage from the current C drive which is a non M.2 but still a SSD. Thank you ahead of time to anyone out there willing to help me im completely lost now.

How did you clone the SSD to the M.2 SSD? Which software did you use?

Unplug the SATA SSD and try booting with the M.2 SSD
