Question How do I get my MPG B550 Gaming Plus BIOS to boot from my m2 drive?

[Williedynabite]

I recently installed an M2 drive after having countless issues with crashing, BSOD, and etc. which I believe was due to my hard drive. I got a Hynix P31 2 TB M2 drive and installed it on my mobo. I tried both of the slots and it didn’t seem to make a difference. When I am in BIOS (just updated to newest version), and I go to select boot priority, it does not appear. I have already formatted all drives on my computer, installed Windows 10 on my M2, ensured it was not on MBR and that it’s on GPT, and just about everything else I could find out about it. It’s on UEFI mode, why am I unable to boot windows on it? Please help me out here, I’m desperate lol. My build has been driving me insane lately.

so you were able to install windows on this motherboard, but not boot from it?

yea, I was able to boot via a different drive (hard drive, I believe) and I’m currently working on formatting all drives back to original states to see if that resolves my issue. I’ll reply back with results if I get anywhere with this

You need to install the OS on this new drive.
And with it being the only drive physically connected.

That’s what I did when I installed it. When I removed the hard drive and other SSD I had connected, it couldn’t boot to windows. All drives I had were formatted. Not sure what is going on

When you installed the OS, was this M.2 drive the only one connected?
