[SOLVED] Making 970 evo my boot drive

[20willshampu99]

I have a MSI z370 motherboard and I’m trying to figure out how to make my 970 evo my boot drive. I already installed and used Samsung data migration and everything from my old ssd. But I can’t find the 970 in my bios to make it the main boot option but when I press f11 it shows it along with my 860 evo.

It may be called "Windows Boot Manager"
There are two options in your BIOS. - Fixed boot order priorities and Boot option priorities.
Have you at both of those those?

If your old drive you cloned was not NVMe, then that isn't going to work.

There is no issue going from an ssd to the type of drive you have.I do it all the time. The issue discussed in the cited comment is off on a tangent. The user should have come here for advice.

The clone will likely work if you use Macrium Reflect instead of the samsung app. There is a free version.
