Hi:

 

That's not unusual.

 

Since your notebook came with a 1 TB 2.5" drive, the notebook will always want to boot from that drive first and not the SSD.

 

The easiest thing to do is to temporarily disconnect the 2.5" drive and the Windows Boot Manager should automatically boot from the SSD.

 

Run the notebook that way a bit.  Shut down, restart it. Make sure everything works fine.

 

Then you should be able to reconnect the 2.5" drive and use it for storage only.

 

Notebooks that come with dual drive configurations have the operating system on the NVMe SSD, and the 2.5" drive is blank and used for storage.
