Hi, i have an issue with my new SSD drive. I have installed the drive inside my PC, i cloned the windows to that drive and i set this drive as a primary drive in BIOS, but for some reason my PC is still launching windows from old HDD drive and can’t boot without that HDD (it makes boot time long). Help would be appreciated as i am a “noob” when it comes to PC and stuff, thanks in advance

Hello
To clarify,you have the 2 drives installed and both drives have the OS in them? -
Yes exactly. Actually i tried to unplug my HDD drive and to boot the system using only my SSD drive and it worked absolutely fine, however i dont feel any time differnece between SSD and HDD when it comes to booting my OS. Is that normal or is something wrong? Booting with my old HDD took around 30 secs and now with only SSD plugged in this time is very close (around 29 secs).Comment

Ok,so you know as you have seen,a pc will not boot correctly with 2 OS’s installed..

Yeah but the thing is that even with only SSD connected to my PC, booting time is the same as with only HDD connected to my PC. And i don’t know whyComment

in BIOS have you changed the SATA type to AHCI?
SSD’s benefit greatly with this in my experience.
the drive needs to be set to ACHI mode before the OS is installed.
generally, all HDD’s are defaulted to IDE mode.
but apart from that, when switching to any new drive, it’s usually prudent to that the opportunity to start afresh. install the latest OS from a bootable USB stick created by the Windows Media Creation Tool.
it’ll work out the best partition sizes. then reload all your data and software, which in itself can be a bugger.
but the reward is about a 12 second boot time from hitting the power button to starting to type in Word.Comment
