Hello,
I've recently bought 500gb M.2 SSD NVME disc. Since I had normal 1Tb HDD SATA, I wanted to transfer windows on SSD disc. And so I did. Now i have Windows on both HDD SATA and M.2 SSD NVME and I'd like my laptop to boot from SSD. I followed multiple tutorials and all i can see is that i don't have the options that exists on that tutorials.
When I try to do this via BIOS all i have on boot order is: "OS boot manager, DVD/CD, USB and ! Network(?)".
When I try to do this via System Configuration I can only see my HDD drive.
When I try to do this via advanced options I don't have the option to choose a default operating system.
At least following the last one I have the option to boot manually from SSD but I would like my laptop to boot automatically from SSD. Having to boot from HDD and then restarting manually to boot from SSD is frustrating.
Thank you for your help,

Hi:
On notebooks that come from the factory with dual drive configurations, windows is not installed on the 2.5" drive.
I recommend you temporarily disconnect the 2.5" drive, and see if the notebook automatically boots from the M.2 SSD.
If it does, reconnect the 2.5" drive and delete all partitions on the 2.5" drive and format it so that it is blank, and just use it for storage.
