I have two hard drives: a SSD and a mechanical hard drive. I've set the mechanical as the boot drive in BiOS. However after starting the computer, I can't verify in Windows which drive is the boot drive . How can you tell?

Go to control panel, admin tools, computer management, storage, disk management. It will list the status of each of your drives.

Which ever drive is labeled as the C drive is the boot drive.
