My question is as follows: 'Is it okay if my SSD does not appear in the boot priority list having been replaced by "Windows Boot Manager" ? Oh, and I also reformatted my internal HD and renamed it to use as additional storage space as intended it appears under MyPC next to the C Drive which I am assuming is the SSD. However, when I boot up the bootup speed is the same as if I was doing so from my SSD.
Now I can boot up successfully but in the BIOS the only boot drive is "Windows Boot Manager" and my SSD is not indicated. The boot from the CD was successful and once in the Macrium windows environment I clicked on "Fix Boot Problems" or something like that and selected the Windows 10 installed on my SSD and clicked "Finish" which then booted my computer successfully and I removed my recovery cd. I chose the CD as the main boot drive, saved, and exited the system BIOS. However, I noticed upon reboot that my computer did not boot up correctly and I got a blue screen with an error message so I popped in my recovery DVD/CD and pressed escape on this screen to enter the BIOS. I used the command prompt and the 'diskpart' and similar commands to select my hdd, list its partitions and select / delete them one by one. I didn't reformat my internal hdd immediately as I wanted to boot from my SSD often over a long period of time to make sure no issues arose.Īfter about a month of using my computer and booting from the SSD (without any problems) I decided it was time to delete all partitions on my original internal HD and reformat it and use it as an extra drive for additional storage space in the future if need be. Everything went smoothly without any problems and I experienced faster boot speed. I then proceeded to uninstall Macrium Reflect and upon reboot entered the system BIOS to set the SSD as the boot drive. I decided to upgrade my laptop with a 250gb SSD from Crucial my Dell Inspiron 5570 came with an extra empty slot for a ssd upgrade.Īfter physical installation of the SSD I used Macrium Reflect 7 (latest free edition) to clone all partitions of my HD to my SSD and I also created recovery media in the process using a blank DVD. I recently purchased a new Dell Inspiron 5570 Laptop which came with a 1TB HD (NOT SSD).
