So, I have a Lenovo v14 windows 11 laptop with 1 tb HDD. I installed a nvme SSD to my laptop and cloned my window 11 to the nvme SSD. So now how can I boot my laptop using my SSD and is it safe to delete the windows file from my c drive (HDD) and if it is safe then how can I do it?

    Hi,

    If your computer still boots from the HDD, you can go to UEFI and change the sequence of the boot devices. Move the SSD before the HDD so that the computer prefers to start from the SSD. If your SSD is a bootable device the computer will boot to the Windows 11 on that. Make sure you back up your data before deleting files on the HDD.

    Best Regards,

    Ian Xue
