I recently put a new Kingston predator 240gb ssd into my Asus G501VW laptop to run windows from. I used Aomei Backupper Standard to clone each partition from my 1 tb hdd to the new ssd which ended up working even though all the other software I tried (like easeus cloning software) didn't work due to the inconsistent sector size.
After I did the cloning I went into bios and changed the boot priority. The 3 options available were something like 1. Windows Boot Manager (ssd name) 2. Windows Boot Manager (hdd name) 3. hdd name by itself.
The computer still boots from the hard drive though, I was told to try disconnecting the hard drive but since its in the laptop I didn't want to physically remove it so I tried uninstalling it from device manager which did nothing. I also tried setting the 2 options in bios besides the ssd to disabled which also did nothing.
I am basically lost and not really sure how to proceed in trying to get the laptop to boot from my ssd. I don't have any files on the laptop that are important and am willing to try almost anything to just be able to use windows from the ssd since the 5400 rpm hard drive is super slow.
Thank you for any help or suggestions.
