My computer died with a blown motherboard. I had Windows 10 loaded on a 250GB OZ Vertex SSD drive. I bought an Alienware Aurora R4 that had a RAID 0 4TB setup as Bootable and installed my SSD from the old computer to SATA 3. I can get it to boot to Windows 10 if I go everytime into the Boot List and tell it to boot to the SSD drive, but I can't get it to boot directly to the SSD without interaction. I tried deleting the raid and setting it back up but it keeps marking it as bootable. I want only the SSD to be the bootable drive as I've since formatted and only use the 4GB RAID 0 for storage. Any suggestions?

Hey there, kennedcx.
Is this the same Windows 10 installation you've used with your old computer? Because if "yes", it's a really fortunate turn of events as normally you shouldn't be able to boot to Windows which has been installed on a different computer (with different hardware), especially one with a different motherboard.
On the other hand, if this is a fresh install, you could check BIOS/UEFI and go to the boot priority menu and make the SSD the first booting device (before the RAID setup, USB ports, Optical Drive, etc). You might want to check the computer's user manual on how to do that.
Hope that helps.
