Question Making my m.2 drive bootable from

[Petepp69]

I have a crucial p1 1tb and I am trying to make it my boot drive. I installed a new copy of windows on it already but I can't reboot in after I turn my pc off. When I go into my bios I don't see under boot option priorities the windows bootable option just my m.2 drive. My old ssd with still has its original windows will show up and have a windows bootable option and boots on just fine. Any help on this?
For anyone asking parts list
Asus x370 crosshair vi
Ryzen r5 1600af
Crucial p1 m.2
Samsung 850 evo 500gb

Here's how it was before when I was able to boot from my ssd. I'm trying to get that option for the m.2 drive.

did you install windows to the p1 with the 850 evo attached too?

I think I did, I had installed windows and reinstalled windows 5 times over the past day and a half trying to figure it out. But I'm certain I tried it with just the m.2 drive in by itself.

unplug the other one. do a fresh install. check what the bios see

Success! thank you. But now there is a few more things. I just ran some tests to make sure that windows would boot into it every time and when i do a restart it boots in no problem. but when i do a cold power off and power on it goes to the bios and wont boot strengths into windows. how can I make it skip going to the american megatrends/bios screen. Next is when i plug in my old ssd with its windows to be able to copy files over and wipe it when im done, how do i make sure it wont cause any issues?
