When I was playing with the boot orders this is what happened.
> sata 1: ssd
> sata 0: hdd
<Didn't boot>
> sata 0: hdd
> sata 1: ssd
<Did boot>
Obviously windows was running from the hdd
Hi,
I'm a bit of a newbie to pc building and upgrades. I do a bit of photography as a hobby. So a while back I got a pc with win 10 pro on it. It only has a 250gb hdd in it so I used a external ssd for my pictures. When a internal 120gb ssd was on special I decided to get one to move windows on to it.
Put it in and some how disk management assigned 60gb to reserved partition. Didn't think much about it at the time. Looked at some websites and youtube videos. Used EaseUS to clone win10 pro to the ssd. Turned off the pc and unplugged the hdd.
Turned on pc again and it won't boot. Check bios and play to see what I can do with boot order but I only have my ssd in there. So I plug the hdd in and switch the boot orders and it still doesn't work.
So I need help with 2 things:
1. Should I worry about the reserved Partition on the ssd and if so how and should I delete it?
2. Can some post a proper guide on transfering windows to the ssd where all I'm transfering is the OS since I never used the hdd for other stuff?
Would really appreciate it.
