Hello everyone, I noticed my operating system is installed on the SSD, but when I try to boot via BIOS, only "Windows Boot Manager" appears and it seems to be using a traditional HDD. I confirmed the EFI System Partition is on the HDD, so I set up a new ESP on my SSD, yet I still can't boot from the SSD or remove the old ESP from the HDD.

System partitions cannot be altered or deleted while the computer is running Windows. For best results, restart to the Windows installation disk, press Shift + F10 to open the command prompt, and then use DiskPart to adjust disk partitions. To create a new EFI boot partition, refer to this guide (recommended to disconnect the HDD during setup): https://www.tenforums.com/installation-u...post698505
