I bought a new SSD drive along with my old HHD.
I moved windows to the new SSD and from the BIOS I changed the Boot device to the SSD. The problem is when I restart the PC it runs the windows again on the HHD by default and I have to change the boot device manually every time I run the PC.
How can I set the SSD as a default boot device ? I already tried in the BIOS and the system configuration but nothing worked

Hi Ghamdifa11
EFI and Recovery partitions are still on the old disk.
Procede as follow.
Remove the old disk and start the system from a bootable installation support
Chose Troubleshooting then Startup repair
If it works connect the old disk and remove partition 1 and partition 4
I also included a screenshot form the disk management . disk 0 is the HHD, I changed it from the OS boot manager to the SSD and saved the change but didn't work

Everything is perfect here. Can you also send a screenshot of current BIOS settings?
Use your Phone's Camera to take pictures.
Right now the windows is running on the SSD. I already formatted the HHD after installing windows on the SSD so I don't thing there are still any files left.

Hi Gham,
I am Sumit here to assist you with this question.
Looks like the boot files are still on HDD.
Press Windows+R keys on the keyboard, or Right-click Start on the taskbar, and choose Run.
Type msconfig
Press Enter.
Go to Boot Tab, take a screenshot and post in the next reply.
