Aurora R10, boot up switch from NIC to SSD
Hello, I have an Alienware R10 and the only boot up options are Onboard NIC (IPV4), Onboard NIC (IPV6), and Windows boot manager. Start-up is painfully slow and I like to have it boot up off of my SSD card. I have cloned a copy of my drive that contains windows to my SSD but I do not know the steps to correctly set this up in my BIOS version 2.2.6 after a restart. When I go to File Browser Add Boot Option (found from Boot Options) I am able to select my SSD or Hard drive, then
No Events found!

Windows Boot Manager should be first in the list of boot options. If you cloned the drive then shut down the system, disconnect the old drive, and reboot with the SSD alone connected. If the system boots fine then reconnect the old drive.

Thank you that worked! It must have been still prioritizing the hard drive start up is much faster now.
