SSD as first boot option

[amitrano]

How do i get my computer to boot from the SSD BEFORE it trys HDD and BD ? SSD is not listed as an boot option in the BIOS. Windows 10. Asrock B250M HDV.

The computer still sees the SSD as a HDD. You must change the order of which HDD the computer first boots to.

The Computer has EFI boot so you just hit the F key that it says to get into the boot menu and change it. You can also change this in the bios just like in older bios's that lack EFI.

However if it's booting from the M1 slot via PCIE that is a separate boot option in the EFI menu. If it's a SATA SSD even M1 SATA it's still a SATA hdd.

F8, F10 or F12 are the most common on most boards so if your not sure just try hitting them when it first starts.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from amitrano : "Boot priortys Win 10"

Does my SSD have to be in SATA port 0 to be the first boot option ? My MB Will try all other drives first then boot from SSD.

if its not raid then yes you set priority's in BIOS

Yup. Go into your bios and set the boot order.

SSD is not listed in boot menu as an option to change to.

Thanks ! I hit F11 to go to the menu to select boot options. I was using F2 to go to BIOS before. It listed my SSD in this menu. I will reboot and see what happens.

It's usually one of them and on some systems its the DEL or ESC key.

If all else fails just hit any key till something comes up.
