Microsoft Windows 11

Hello,

I have upgraded to Win 11 from the original Win 10 OS. After that installed an Nvme 500 GB drive and cloned it using Macrium reflect. I found in another thread about how to start Nvme SSD boot (UEFI sys file) since I do not see it in BIOS. Tried to initiate boot with UEFI file, but then failed with and Windows error and restarted with the installed 1 TB HDD boot mode. Please let me know how can I make this Nvme SSD drive my boot drive considering it is the upgraded Win 11 clone.

Just to be safe, unplug the HDD, go into BIOS and it must be selected in the boot options (F9) and select it. It should be loaded into NVRam.
