Hi:

 

If you have installed Windows on the NVMe SSD or you want to install Windows on the NVMe SSD, temporarily disconnect the hard drive and the PC should boot from the SSD or you can boot from your Windows installation media and install Windows on the SSD.

 

Then once everything is up and running, you should be able to reconnect the hard drive and use it for storage only.

 

You cannot have an operating system on the hard drive and one on the NVMe SSD or it confuses the Windows boot manager.

 

For some reason it always wants to boot from the SATA drive first.
