Dear all
Recently I bought a Samsung 850 EVO SSD M.2 250GB in addition to the 1TB 7200rpm HDD that's already in my MSI GP72 2QD notebook. I fully, and succesfully, cloned the software from my HDD (including Windows 10) to the SSD, using the application Samsung provided on their website. Then I had to make my computer switch boot settings, so that it would boot from the new SSD, but this is where I got stuck. I acces the BIOS/UEFI settings (number E1793IMS.10E, should that mean anything to you) and go to my boot settings. In there, I tried to add my SSD to the priority list, but, as you can see on this screenshot, it wasn't in the list.
Then I checked out the UEFI Hard Disk Drive BBS Priority list, below that list. In there, there was another priority list, as seen in the next screenshot:
In here, I could select the SSD! And indeed, when I changed this order, the SSD showed up in the first priority list (first screenshot), as a replacement for the HDD. So all seemed fine. However, when I saved and rebooted the computer, it didn't. When I got to my desktop, it started to flash. It showed the Dragon Gaming Center error (something for MSI notebooks, I suppose), then it blackscreened, than the error again, blackscreen again,...
So this didn't seem right. I've been looking for a solution for quite a while now, but haven't found any. A lot of similar problems talked about wirings with SATA and stuff, but that doesn't really apply to this case, since my SSD's has a M.2 form factor. I read about switching boot mode from UEFI to LEGACY, as seen in the screenshot below,
but that caused my computer to flash as well, it didn't even manage to boot, it just kept showing this:
I also tried to disable the safe boot mode (as I have read somewhere) and tried the same things mentioned above, but without result.
Desperate is I am, I hereby throw my question in the community, hoping for some help!
Thanks in advance!
