Booting not changing to ssd from hdd even after it shows in BIOS, also leagcy support is not available. How can i boot windows from SSD?

Did you upgrade the existing SSD in your laptop? If so, what M.2 device did you have?

According to page 47 of your manual here, there are 4 possible M.2 devices

But looking at the 382 and the 384, only the NVMe are compatible. 

How did you install the m.2?  Did you upgrade the HDD to windows 11 then clone the HDD to the SSD? 

I do not know what your bios config look like.  Does it look anything like this?

If you hade optane memory (m.2 usually about 16gb in size) and replaced it with NVMe then look through your bios and disable optane and enable AHCI.  You may not see that exact option but there should be some configuration.  It might be called rapid storage.  It needs to be disabled (the rapid storage) and AHCI selected.

Hi, @akash_kundu 

Notebooks that come with dual drive configurations (2.5" HDD + NVMe SSD), have no operating system on the hard drive.

Since your notebook came with a 1 TB 2.5" mechanical hard drive, the Windows boot manager has assigned that drive as the boot drive.

What normally works is to temporarily disconnect the 2.5" drive so the Windows boot manager automatically switches to the bootable drive it can find (now the NVMe SSD).

Run the notebook a short while off the NVMe SSD.

Shut it down, restart it, make sure it is working fine.

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

You may have to format the 2.5" drive to remove Windows from the drive if the boot manager switches back to the 2.5" drive again.
