Product: HP EliteBook 850 G2 Notebook PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
I've added an M.2 2242 256 GB SSD (Sabrent NVMe Rocket Nano). The system can see it after plugging it in, but after cloning the SATA SSD I had in the system and checking bios settings to make sure the m.2 was selected as a viable boot device, the system does NOT see the m.2 drive as available to boot from. Taking the SATA out, the system complains that there is not boot drive and leaving it in and trying to F9 to boot options, the m.2 is not listed. The m.2 Windows partition is set as Active but not boot. How do I get it to be flagged as boot and will that make it available to boot from? The bios is set for UEFI.
