[SOLVED] Upgraded to NVME M.2 SSD Cant Boot windows

[Mwebb19]

Lets start with my specs, my MOBO is a gigabyte auros B450 pro wifi, I currently have a regular SSD as my boot drive with just my windows 10 OS on it. I recently purchased a NVMEM.2 SSD and installed it onto the motherboard to start the cloning process of my current SSD to myM.2 SSD. However, when I turn on my PC it no longer recognizes my current and old SSD and it will not boot windows. When I uninstall the M.2 and reboot the PC it will then recognize the old SSD and I then have to select it as a boot device again. I would really love to avoid doing a clean install onto the M.2 as I do not want to have to install everything again. I am also nervous of loosing my data on my old SSD as it has precious photos of my child hood on it.

Check page 17 in the manual.
Certain SATA ports get disabled when you use an M2 drive
Due to the limited number of lanes provided by the Chipset, the availability of the SATA connectors may be affected by the type of device installed in the M.2 connectors.
