    Windows doesn't like two active boot disks

    Congrats!
    WOW - what a revelation

    Congrats!!!

    What did that have to do with my "BIOS/UEFI" post??? You know... like the BIOS comes before the OS

    That sounds like you never changed the boot order in the BIOS when you swapped the OS to the new drive. Removing the "SATA" drive pretty much forced the system to look elsewhere for a boot drive.

    That said, make sure the NVME is the first drive in the boot order

    Good luck.
    The boot order wouldn't change in the Bios. The Bios showed both drives but wouldn't let me change it. Even the second boot device was set to the Sata drive. When I manually selected to boot from the NVMe drive the computer wouldn't boot.

    The Congrats was for Winuser getting it working.

    I gotta tell you those AMD board BIOS's are a mystery to me. On Intel boards you can choose the boot order. Never used or played with an AMD system, strictly Intel. I thought about building an AMD system one just to learn the BIOS.

    Thanks for the info

    @thomaseg1, I was going by your post in which you quoted me. Apologies accepted and we're good

    I don't know why the desktop wouldn't boot with both drives installed. I use to dual boot 2 versions of Windows 10 on separate drives. I had Windows 10 Pro on 1 drive and Windows 10 Pro Insider build on another. I used EasyBCD to make the dual boot menu. Before I format the SSD I might give EasyBCD a try. The SSD is in a removable tray so it would be easy to try. It won't be tonight because I'm tired and getting ready to call it a day.

    Did you wipe the old drive or was the OS still on it?

    And yeah, you should have been able to boot from one of those drives. Like you I ran multiple drives in my system with different OS's on them - Ex: one drive having Vista and the other Windows 7. I'd simply go into the BIOS and tell it what drive to boot from. Easy-peasy.

    My motherboard is Intel. It came with a 16GB NVMe Optane memory drive that I never used. I'm use to the old Bios menus. When I access the Asus UEFI Bios I'm lost. I am slowly finding my way around in it.

    Edit: I tried changing the boot order in the Easy Bios setup and in the Advanced setup.

    OK, now I owe an appology @thomaseg1 as I thought your board was an AMD. I saw ASUS B360M-A and assumed AMD

    I'm somewhat surprised that board's BIOS dosn't allow you to change the boot order

    Do tell - How'd it go?

    The OS is still on it. I could boot into the SSD, Just not the NVMe drive. I'm going to test the new drive for awhile then decide what to do with it. I could do as I originally planed and make it my data drive or use it to upgrade my laptop to a 1TB drive. It has a 500Gb SSD drive in it now.

    Page vii of your owner's manual may clarify things....

    When a device in SATA mode is installed on the M.2_1 socket, SATA_2 port cannot be used.
    https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/m...317.1588361225

    Perhaps the SATA port the old drive was one was playing interference?

    Anyway you seem to have to figured out so...
