Question about m.2 SATA Drive removal on a NUC 5i7RYHr

I have a NUC5i7RYHR with a 275 Gb M.2 SATA and a hybrid 2.5 inch SATA drive. I recently gota 1 TB SSD HD. I cloned the OS (Windows 10) to the new drive from the M.2 SATA. I had to play some games to get a uefi partition on the new drive. I installed the new drive and removed the other two drive. The system will not boot from the ssd. It will only boot with both drives in place. Is there a way to set up the box so that it will boot from the SSD and not require the M's SATA drive?

It sounds like the boot structure for Windows OS didn't get set up properly for your new drive.

 

What did you use for the disk cloning? Also, what is meant by "play some games to get a UEFI partition on the new drive" ?

 

You may need to run the Microsoft "bcdboot" utility to make your new drive properly bootable.

  1. Prepare a backup of your C: partition only from your M.2 SATA drive.
  2. Remove the M.2 Drive.
  3. Make clean installation of Windows 10 on your 1TB SSD. The Windows should be activated automatically, since the license for this NUC is saved in Microsoft server.
  4. Restore the backup of your old C: partition to the new drive. Now the drive will be bootable.

 

There is also another way to choose instead of discarding M.2 drive:

  1. Leave the current M.2 SATA drive as a system drive.
  2. Change location of your Data and future program to the new drive: Settings > System>Storage>Change where new content is saved
