So I used to have my OS on a 240gb ssd and was fine for booting ( just wanted faster :) I decided to get a 220gb m.2 ssd. Now I think I may know the problem but want to ask someone. I moved everything from the ssd to the m.2 because i was having problems installing a new os on it. So now the m.2 has 115gb free of 220gb. My guess is its taking ages because of that. It takes about 30 seconds or so to boot which is a lot longer than my ssd. Any ideas??

Really sorry for the late reply. I say it was like maybe 15 seconds max?? Im pretty sure its because of the 100gb+ used already but idk how to move my windows from my old ssd to the new m.2. I only know how to move everything on it

OK...and have you verified that it is actually booting from the m.2 drive?
Verified, as in actually disconnecting the old drive and trying the system with only the m.2?
