Windows Installation Problem on HP Envy 4

[arugal]

Hi

I am using HP ENVY 4 (model: 1080-ee)

It has 1TB HDD with windows 7 running perfectly fine

I have recently installed an mSATA SSD of 100 GB on it

Windows & is still running fine after installing mSATA

But to install win 11 on it is next to impossible

Somehow, I have dump the image of win 11 24H2 on it

its running perfectly but only when I disconnect 1TB HDD

as soon as I connect HDD, it again boot into win 7

My 1st question:

how to make my SSD boot firstly than HDD?

My 2nd question:

I am able to run win 11 only by dumping image of other system

How can i clean install win 11 on mSATA SSD without disconnecting HDD?

Looks like mSATA is a cache drive, not boot drive therefore you have to

1. Disable the cache drive first

2. Remove HDD

3. Remove old mSATA and install new mSATA

4. Run machine for few days

5. When happy then put old HDD back

Actually, I don't think Windows 11 would install to your machine

Regards.

Thanks for your answer

Please explain why cant I install OS on a cache SSD?

How to make cache SSD bootable?

how come cache SSD is different for boot SSD?

How to check whether my SSD is really a cache SSD or else (my ssd model LMT-32L3M)?

How come its not letting me install win 11 or win 10, but a ghost image (.gho file)  of win 11 pro when dumped on this SSD runs win 11 succesffully?

need your help please
