Latitude e5440 slow boot after adding SSD

Question

Hii,

After I had added a SSD Samsung Evo 870 (500GB) to my e5440, the boot becomes very slow.

I added the SSD instead of the main HDD, and added the HDD instead of CD/DVD drive ..

So, when I click on the power button it takes about 30 seconds to get the welcome screen, which saying DELL in the center of the screen..

The operating system is installed on SSD, I have dual booting ,windows and linux.

Also after I choose windows or linux, it takes time to load it, which isn't expected in case of SS

Have you tried it with Secure Boot turned off? Sounds like the second drive is causing the BIOS to hang up during POST. Try tapping F12 when you see the Dell splash screen. Then select the M.2 drive from the list which will force booting from the M.2 drive. If it boots faster then you can figure that the boot order or boot configuration is possibly suspect during boot.

Thank you so much for ur reply ..

The problem is that after I push the power button, there is no response through the first 30 seconds, after that the Dell splash screen is shown .. this 30 seconds are the problem.

I tried the the disabled secured boot and there's no change
