[SOLVED] Windows boot on ssd after installing new NV me

[zypa2020]

Hello guys,
I want to purchase an NV me and install it on the MSI B450 GAMING PLUS MAX mainboard but I have noticed on the manual that after I put the NV me inside two sata ports will not function anymore. That's not a big problem since there are 2 more available to use.

The problem is that I have windows installed on one of those sata ports ssd and when I will install the NV me those exact 2 ports will not work anymore so I will have to move the windows ssd on a new sata port.

I don't want to reinstall for now windows on the new NV me because it is a real pain to configure all the apps on it.

Question is, will windows boot if I just change the Sata port of the ssd after I install the NV me?
I think it might not and give incorrect boot location since sata port is changing.

Thanks

You'll have to adjust boot priority settings in BIOS.
But yes, it'll boot just fine.

Ah really? OK that's not a problem. I thought when it will pass to boot it would give incorrect boot address since boot location changed from C to whatever letter it might get after setting it into the new sata port. I remember in windows msconfig the boot location thing. And it was a number of I recall
