Product: HP Pavilion 14 Notebook PC (HP 14-N001TX)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
Hello everyone, I recently got a SATA SSD and installed it on my laptop where the CD drive was using a caddy. The SSD shows properly in windows explorer and I also cloned the C Drive using Macrium Reflect. Now, when I try to boot from the SSD, I am unable to do so. The SSD does not show up in the Boot Options in BIOS either. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advace.
