Hey guys.
So, I just got a new 2TB SSD and cloned my old C drive to it.
Now, I want to change the Boot order to the new SSD.
I can't do it because there's no other option in Boot Tab of my BIOS except "Windows Boot Manager"
How do I change boot order then via msconfig or any other way ?
Please help me get this problem fixed.
Model - PH 317-53
BIOS Mode - UEFI
SuperVisor Password status - Set
Secure Boot - Disabled

Firstly give us more details, is your new ssd a 2.5" 2TB ssd or a new PCIe M.2 2280SS 2TB SSD? Also, don't disable "secure boot' as that is not the problem if you cloned your old boot drive.Abhinash said:Hey guys.

Have you taken your old boot drive out? If not and you have both drives inside when booting, then, your PH 317-53 will always boot from your old drive and your new drive will not be recognised. Take your old boot drive out and then ONLY BOOT with your new cloned 2TB SSD boot drive! Once the system boots with your new cloned 2TB SSD boot drive then you can format your old drive.0 -
It's an Nvme drive
