PC only boots into BIOS after adding a new SSD - help!

[tomtaylor0109]

So I installed an NVMe M.2 SSD. Before this the boot would be performed from a Sata3 SSD. However, after installing it and powering up the computer, Windows doesnt boot up and so far nothing has helped. Any suggestions?

Update: for some reason the MB doesn‘t recognize my older SSD and therefore it has nothing to boot from. It says it‘s not installed. Could this be because of the NVMe SSD?

have you tried anything so far on your own? have to tried settings the BIOS to default settings

Yes I did. No use

M.2 SSD may have disabled sata port, where 2.5" SSD is connected.
Connect your old SSD to a different SATA port. Consult manual of your motherboard.

It might be it. I removed the nvme ssd and everything booted up nice and easily. I do have an HDD connected to another sata port, which was eventually displayed in the BIOS. Might try that one

Connecting the old SSD to a different port worked like a charm. Cheers guys, thanks for the help
