HP 650 G1 Transcend TS256GMTS400S m.2 SSD SATA III

[Tobitsa]

Hello to all,

I own a HP ProBook 605 G1 (D9S33AV) equipped with a HDD and an unpopulated slot for M.2 (above the WiFi module, connector CN1401) - picture attached.

I purchased a Transcend M.2 SSD TS256GMTS400S, the OS installed on HDD recognizes it without problem in Disk Management, i can manipulate it in Disk Part. 

I tried to install Win10 on it but i can't find a way to make it boot as default from this SSD.

In BIOS the m.2 SSD is ticked.

I have updated BIOS to version 1.50A, no new options, no success...

I found information on these forums where users managed to set up the system so that it would boot without problems but I did not find any method, or the method used by them was not applied in my case (what they had in boot order is different in my case).

I managed to install Win10 but every time i need to manually select the location on the EFI file every time i power on the notebook having a delayed start of 05 seconds.

Please help...

My suggestion: remove old HDD, run on M.2 SSD for few days or a week then format HDD before put its back.

Hope this helps.

Regards.

Thank you for your fast reply.

The problem with selecting manually the EFI boot file is present even with the HDD disconnected...

No other solution? 😞
