m17 R3, SSD swap out
New M17 R3, I wanted to use a larger SSD, Changed it out, Used a USB stick to load windows, But then after install. Computer says can not find bootable device. I checked bios and do not see anything under boot But **WIndows PX4 Or PX6** No sign to choose my new SSD. If i pop the original one back in it boots just find and i place the second one in slot 2 and i can see all the flies no problem. It just wont boot.
Thanks in Advance

Did you use the USB with Windows created from the media creation tool available here? It is possible also that the MBR is missing or corrupt. How to repair it can be found here and in this video.

Hi @Vadona creation of clone is the best option. If the original OS(C:) SSD unchanged, this option continues to be available. Get time limited, free cloning application plus instructions from your new SSD's webpage. Cloning will give bootable copy of original OS(C:) SSD.

Hi @Vadona the OS(C:) boot drive has two hidden partitions, and storage drives have no hidden partitions.
