I recently installed a m.2 nvme. I am unable to get the computer to boot using the nvme. Could I get a possible walkthrough for the bios menu, not much instructions out there for the laptop.

I moved the SSD to the top of the list in the 'OS Boot Manager' I also have the legacy boot enabled and secure boot disabled. 

The SSD comes up in the OS Boot Manager and the Legacy boot OS Boot Manager, but I do not see it under the Intel rapid storage technology. How am I supposed to use it as a boot drive?

Is it a Samsung EVO 980 Pro m.2 nvme ssd 1 TB. My plan is to use this for the boot dirve and use the HDD for storage. 

Thank you.

 

EDIT/FIX: I fixed it by unplugging the HDD and it automatically booted up on the SSD. I then plugged in the HDD and it booted up on the SSD. I was able to format the HDD.

You need to boot from a USB drive where you downloaded Windows 10, then install Windows 10 on your new drive.

I used a cloning software and copied the Drive to the nvme. Do I still have to do that?

HP Recommended

I'm assuming you are trying to load a new install of W10 on your NVME drive? If so then following the above directions will get you there. You have to creat a USB installer disk to write the OS to the drive, set partitions and make it bootable.

 

edit- you added another post while I was typing my reply with more info. The cloning software should have tools to make the new drive bootable.

If you cloned the drive correctly, it should boot up.

Where am I supposed to go to find the boot drive options? The ssdshould have the same files from the original hhd

HP Recommended

I was just going to suggest that you remove the HHD to see if it booted from the SSD.
