Product: HP 15-da0053wm
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello everyone. I have a HP notebook 15-da0053wm. I've been having slow performance, so I'm trying to replace my 16GB Optane Memory with a 1TB NVMe SSD, and keeping my 1TB HDD for the extra storage. I've installed Windows 10 to the SSD using a USB, but I'm not able to choose the SSD in BIOS to change the boot order, only the HDD shows up. I made sure to disable the Optane Memory before removing it. My laptop boots up still and Windows was installed on one of the SSDs partitions, but now I have 2 local disks, (C:) and (D:). Any help?

Hi:

 

If you temporarily disconnect the 2.5" drive, the Windows boot manager should automatically switch to the NVMe SSD.

 

Run the notebook off the SSD for a bit.  Shut down the notebook restart it, etc.

 

When you are convinced that the drive is working fine, try connecting the 2.5" drive back up and see if the windows boot manager still has the NVMe SSD booting up first.

 

If it switched back to the 2.5" drive, you will need to completely format the drive to remove Windows and all of the boot files from the drive so that the boot manager stays on the SSD.

 

When you buy a notebook from the factory with a dual drive configuration there is no operating system on the 2.5" drive which is only to be used for storage.
