I added a new secondary m.2 drive and my boot times from turning on to being ready to enter my windows password has gone from about 4-5 seconds to more like 20 seconds. Any ideas why?

Thanks.

Okay, this has to be a dumb question, but I haven't been into bios or the boot menu in a while. I have the option of pressing 'delete' for bios and 'f11' for boot menu. I've restarted a few times trying both and I'm not getting to a boot menu or a bios for some reason. Don't remember having any issue doing this in the past. Do I have to press and hold or jam on it like a maniac? :)

Started jamming on the delete key before the screen even came up and it worked. Still has old m.2 drive with windows install as the first boot drive. Maybe adding the extra secondary drive just added some extra seconds to the boot up?
