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

Thanks. The fact that disk 0 has an EFI partition is the reason why it picks up HDD first.
The best way to overcome this is through a clean install.
Nevertheless, If you change the disk order either through a cable change or if there is an option in BIOS, does that help? What I mean to say is, make SSD disk 0, which is ideally how the things should be.
