HI Group,
I just put an SSD drive in my new Dell XPS 8920 desktop. I used Macrium Reflect to Clone the HDD to The SSD. I then wiped the HDD. So now I have one operating system on the SSD which works fine. The problem is that I now get 2 boot options. They are both exactly the same, "Windows 10 on volume 4." So, my question is how can I get rid of this blue screen offering the 2 options and boot right to desktop?
Appreciate your help.
HI,
How did you wipe the original hdd ?
Seems it might still have the active flag ?
I use free mini tool possibly clean it with that.

Press Windows + R key. Run msconfig
Click on the boot tab. Delete the boot entry for the OS that is not set as default.
Thanks for your replies.
I wiped the HDD with DBAN.
I went to msconfig/boot tab and there is only one OS entry there.
Command prompt (Admin) (or "run as administrator" command prompt)
bcdedit
then
bcedit /delete {guid}
replace {guid} with the identifier of the Windows boot entry that you don't want. The string of numbers and letters goes inside {} for example:
bcdedit /delete {ec06c16a-caf8-11e7-b1ac-10c37ba1c52b}
