After you cloned the drive over, did you disconnect the old drive before you restarted the system? You have to shut down the system, disconnect the old drive, then boot the system. If everything looks good, then shut down and plug the old drive back in and restart. The BIOS boot option should be for Windows Boot Manager.
OK, your post was not clear. I assume you cloned the M.2 drive from the old drive which was either an HDD or SSD. Is that correct? If so then after you cloned the M.2 drive you should have disconnected the old drive or removed it whichever would prevent it from being detected and fool the system into thinking it was the boot drive. Can you be a little more specific about the procedure you followed to clone the M.2 drive from the original drive?
To get this information you need to log on to support, enter your model number and most importantly Enter your Service Tag Number.
That will open all the hardware information on your Particular notebook, You should download and read your Service Manual there you will learn how to change these drives/SSD
Sounds like you did a clone correctly you just didn't disconnect or remove your original drive to force you to boot to the new SSD, you can also Press F12 right after you turn on the notebook Spam really until a one-time boot menu comes up and you can select your SSD at the boot drive. Once you get into windows format your old drive as a logical drive.
Yes I cloned the M.2 Drive from old HDD Drive on my Dell Inspiron 15 7559.
The HDD is already inside this laptop, internal HDD, it's okay to remove it?
Okay The procedures, I just insert new Memory DDR3L and SSD WD Green 240GB into my laptop and then, I use AOMEI to clone my SYSTEM after the process clone finish, I restart the laptop, but still not booting with new SSD I just inserted and cloned, so I tried to search the solutions, and I found about change booting option on BIOS Setting so I tried but I can't seems to find Booting Options with New SSD Drive.
I already tried to enter one-timed boot menu and choose the SSD as the boot drive but I can't find SSD as an option, that's why i'm confused. and I'm just scared to change the setting thinking it may cause a touble with my original windows and have to install the windows again.
This really helped me, After hours of searching on boot sequence and my laptop is a bit old so boot sequence is not shown. Thanks for your input here I finallg able to boot my ssd. Kudos to you and may you share more of your knowledge to the community.

At this point I would suggest that your redo the Clone and use Macrium Reflect Free, it always works without any hick-ups like your experiencing right now. Here is a video that show you how. For further information on how to use MR this is a very good tutorial
Something has gone wrong with your first clone or it would show up in the f12 one-time boot menu.

@KitKat05 how did you find out if the OS is booting from SSD and not HD
