Hello. I've cloned the contents of my 1 TB Seagate Barracuda onto a 120 GB Samsung Evo 840. I've installed the SSD drivers and software and everything from Samsung, and Windows recognizes the drive.

The problem I have is that I don't know how to boot from the SSD. I have an MSI H81M P33 V2 motherboard and its BIOS only lets you rearrange the boot order of hard drives, USB drives, and optical drives. There's also options for 'UEFI' devices. Nothing for an SSD.

I don't know how to boot from specific ports, such as SATA1, SATA2, SATA4, etc.

Thanks for reading.

the ssd should show up alongside your hdd in the list typically. just pick the ssd as your primary boot device.

I think the BIOS identifies the SSD as a UEFI Hard Disk. And I've set that to first priority. But thanks for your help, anyway.
