Anyone know how I can get it to boot automatically from my M.2 SSD instead of F12 everytime?
So yeah, your photo was just approved and the incomplete format is definitely the problem as you are currently showing 3 partitions on the storage drive, each one identical in size to the boot drive indicating it was cloned over. You only need 1 partition on the storage drive now since it's not being used for boot. But regardless, you definitely need to wipe the recovery partition, etc., partitions. You can merge them with your large partition.
You didn't fully reformat and it's picking up the old boot partition. You need to use disk part to delete the old boot partition and any other recovery etc partitions, combine into one entire new partition, and format the entire new partition and initialize to GPT.
I tried to delete the Recovery Partition and the other ones except the Storage D Partition and it didn't work it said on Disk Part can not delete protected partition and when I type delete part override it doesn't delete it still. Saying "The arguments specified for this commend are not valid. Is there any way you can guide me on what I'm doing wrong?
run the cmd prompt as an admin, then type: “diskpart” > “list disk” > “select disk [number]” > “list partition” > “select partition [number]” > “delete partition override” , this should turn the partition into unallocated space
You can then use disk management to combine the volumes.

And note, the command is "delete partition override"
note that commands like 'delete partition 2 override' or 'delete part override' may cause an error like this

Thanks it's booting up fine now! No more manual F12. Appreciate the help! All that's left to do is merge the unallocated space. Thanks again!
