Mx500 is not directly bootable I get trouble loading os message. I installed windows on this mx500 ssd with windows USB installation media made with media creation tool. I was trying to replace my 240gb ssd with a larger 500gb one. I tried cloning with the software that came with the crucial mx 500 ssd but that wasn't bootable either so I did a fresh install on the crucial mx500 and ran into this problem.

In my bios if I select the mx500 as primary boot device it gives me the trouble loading os message. If I select my hdd it gives me the option to load either ssd, the old or the new, regardless of whether the old one is attached, via windows manager. The mx 500 does not have the uefi symbol on it the only thing that does is the hdd I used for storage and the bootable installation media on usb. Why would that be?
I want to make this fresh install bootable since I've already installed all my music production software again.
