No boot device when using SSD
I have found similar discussions, but no solutions that worked for me.
I am using an inspiron 5770.
I used macrium reflect to clone the operating system from HDD to SSD, then I disconnected the HDD, but now the computer won't start with just SSD. It says no bootable device, and when I got to BIOS, this is all I see (second photo is when I click add boot option).
What do I do?

Hi
I'm Avinash, a community member just like you!
I've understood that you have cloned your HDD to SSD and now replaced your HDD with SSD. After replacing, your laptop won't boot as it cannot detect the drive.
Please go to the Dell BIOS (F12 on startup Dell logo) and set the SSD at the 1st place in the boot order menu.
Note: I can't view your images. Please re-upload again.
Worst Case Scenario:
Format the SSD in NTFS type and fresh install your operating system using a flash disk (USB, CD, etc.)

I'll try again, but the images show that if I go to the BIOS, there is no where where I see the "first place", etc. stuff everyone talks about.

I'm assuming it's something I have to do in the BIOS, but based on what people say to do in other threads and videos, I can't figure out what it is I need to do since mine looks so different.

No problem with the cloning. There was plenty of room on the ssd.
