Hey everyone! Thanks for reading my update... I have an older laptop, the HP Pavilion CB15-061NA. It comes with an I7 7700hq processor, 16GB RAM, 2400MHz, a 1TB HDD, and a GTX 1050 graphics card. Although it's a bit outdated, it still functions well so far. I planned to upgrade by adding an SSD to boost performance. I installed a 240GB M.2 SSD, and everything works smoothly—SSD is recognized and functioning properly. I cloned my HDD to the SSD and updated the BIOS to switch the boot device to the SSD. However, when trying to change the boot option in Boot Manager, I get stuck. After selecting the SSD, nothing happens, and pressing Enter keeps me on the original choice. Someone, can you help figure out what’s going wrong? Thanks!

It looks like the boot file isn't in its usual state. A fresh Windows setup using only the SSD should resolve this issue, although you'll need to reinstall your applications.

Once I cloned the drive, I unplugged the old HDD in the laptop. The boot menu switched to the new SSD afterward. After replacing the old HDD, I wiped it clean and everything functioned properly as expected. Thanks to everyone who helped me find a solution!
