Windows 10 Windows on ssd, can't boot without hdd
Just like in the title. I have my Windows 10 installed on the SSD, but when I unplug HDD I can't run the computer. On top of that, in the boot menu I need to have HDD as the first boot option, because if not, the system just doesn't find the OS. And yes, I can find the system files on my SSD.- january
