hp probook 6570b
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello.  I have upgraded a HP6570b laptop with a brand new Samsung 870EVO SSD.  The BIOS has been previously updated to the latest one on the HP website.  The old Western Digital hard drive was still working fine, so I used Acronis to copy the image from one drive to the other.  With the new SSD hard drive installed it it boots fine from power on, however if I restart Windows 10, I get a BIOS error 3F0 (HDD not detected).  It then wants to run the HP diagnostic - but it reports that  no is HDD is detected.  HOWEVER, if you power-down the laptop, and then power on again, the HP diagnostics want to check the HDD - but this time the HDD is detected and Windows boots successfully after the HDD had been checked (without errors).  So in summary I cannot reboot the OS, but rather power off if I don't want to see the 3F0 error.  I have tried a 2nd new Samsung 870EVO drive and this performs exactly the same as the first one.  I reinstalled the original spinning platter WD hard drive and this continues to work faultlessly - but obviously much slower than the SSD.  I have tried various BIOS settings but cannot identify anything to fix the problem with the SSD restart problem... Any ideas on how to get my laptop restarting every-time with the SSD installed would be appreciated as I don't really want to stay with the old WD drive.
