📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses an issue where the original poster successfully booted Windows 10 from an SSD after migrating from an HDD but encounters boot errors when the HDD is connected. The user notes that the BIOS boot priority still points to Windows Boot Manager, suggesting a potential partition or boot configuration issue. A responder suggests checking whether the HDD was formatted, as an unformatted drive might cause the system to default to the EFI boot loader, contributing to the boot problem.

Hi All,

I migrated my OS/image from a stock HDD to a new SSD. I can boot from the SSD completely fine when the HDD is not connected but when it is connected I get a boot error. I can boot from the SSD using the boot options in the BIOS (Dell) but the boot priority is still set to Windows Boot Manager. I am assuming my partitions/disk migration are fine due to the SSD being to boot but below is a screenshot:

Not sure where to go next here? OS is Windows 10.

Did you format the HDD? It's probably seeing the EFI boot loader if you didn't and trying to boot to it.
