Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

My OMEN 17-CB1005NA notebook has the following storage.... 512GB PCIe® NVMe  M2 SSD     2TB SATA SSD     1TB PCIe® NvMe M2 SSD.

It boots from 512GB drive.   I have cloned this to the 1TB drive and if I remove 500GB drive the machine boots ok from 1TB cloned drive as C.

When I reinsert 500GB drive it boots from that one again regardless of which slot it is fitted in. Any Ideas? 

Should I risk formatting 500GB drive ?

Old drive still carries "signature" therefore you have to clear that by initialize or format it.

This was the solution I anticipated but your reply gave me the confidence to format the drive. All OK. Thank you.
