Windows 10 Boot Manager no longer a Option in System BIOS
Good Morning
Windows 10 Boot Manager:
My system use to have a SSD 250 Drive as the C:\ Running out of disk space, I purchase a 2TB SSD drive to replace the current 250GB Drive. Trying to find a way to preserve the current data and Application already installed, I unplugged the 250-SSD from the system and Installed the new 2TB-SSD. I use my ORIGINAL Windows 10 64Bit software to do a new Windows 10 installation. After installation and all the upgrade from the installed version to the latest Edition Windows 10 Pro, Version 21H1, Installed on 10/08/2020' OS build 19043.985
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.2020.0 : I shut the system down and put my old 250-SSD drive back into the system. When I then switch my PC on the following happened:
a. The system did not boot, the message was "Please insert boot medium and hit enter to reboot."
b. When the system reboot, I pressed the Del button to enter system BIOS setting.
c. In the BIOS settings I could see my to SSD drives, selecting ANY of the two the original message appear when I exit the BIOS and restart "Please insert boot medium...."
d. I restart the PC again and this time use F12 to access the One time Boot Menu.
e. In the boot menu I could see my SSD drive and ONE BLANK OPTION.
f. Selecting this one blank option my system restart and continue to boot as normal. Selecting any of the other SSD drives result in the same error "Insert boot medium..."
Observation:
1 There is nothing wrong with my Windows 10 Pro setup because the system boot normally and work perfect.
2. The blank option manual selected does boot but cannot be booted as part of the system normal boot process. Even when it is set as the first boot option.
3. The system works normally except fot the fact that I have no Windows Boot Manager as a option in the BIOS and that I can only use the system and access the boot with the One Time Boot Menu.
Please help me to get the system back to normal WITHOUT a complete re-install. The MAIN reason for not to re-install is that I have purchase and downloaded Windows Flight simulator 2020 and that took my 5 DAYS to download without the upgrades. I really do not want to go thru that process again. The must be some PowerShell option or simple command to re-enter the Windows Boot Manager in the BIOS or fix the current BOOT option. Could the initial small portion of the installation not be isolated to run only the part where this was originally created and available in the BOOT menu?
Kind Regards
