How do I tell computer to start from the new SSD automatically? Aspire R5-571T-57Z0

RyanZ

I have Aspire R5-571T-57Z0. The default HDD has a SATA interface. I installed a M.2 SSD on the M.2 interface so that I can have SSD as my system drive and HDD as my data drive. I cloned everything from HDD to SDD. I have already selected the SSD as the first option under "Boot" in BIOS. However everything when I restart, it still book the computer from the old HDD. The way to get around is to press F12, and select SSD. However I don't want to press F12 every time. Then I formatted my HDD drive. When I restart the computer, it automatically goes to "repair" mode. If I do F12 and select SSD, it can still take me to SSD windows 10. What else do I need to do to let the computer start automatically from SSD? Thanks.

Hi,
You could try removing the HDD from the laptop and boot with only the new SSD installed, after using it like that for few days, try installing the HDD.
