I have installed a SSD drive on cd bay and cloned it from HDD. I would like to use this SSD drive as boot drive and keep the existing HDD as-is for backup and storage,etc.

 

I tried changing boot sequence in BIOS but the same is not getting picked. What else need to done make it bootable?

 

System info:

Acer laptop

Windows 10 

Aspire V 15 V3-575T-7008

 

Thanks

    Take out the HDD and boot to the SSD.

    I want to keep HHD as-is, and use SSD for boot.

    You want to be able to boot to either the HDD or the SSD?

    You can't have two system drives on the same computer unless they are set up as a dual boot system.

    You could use F-12 boot menu to boot to either drive.
