I recently upgraded my setup with a Samsung M.2 500gb and a 1TB SATA SSD, replacing the WD blue 1TB drive. I attempted to move Windows to the M.2 slot but the software only accepted it for the SATA SSD. After some troubleshooting, I managed to get Windows running from the SATA drive, and I cleared the old WD drive completely. The system booted normally a few times before I encountered issues. Now when I try to launch Windows, nothing appears—first it shows the lock screen, then a black screen. I restarted and ended up in recovery settings. I’ve tried everything except the command prompt and a full wipe. Microsoft didn’t seem to have any solutions either. Please help, everyone. -Harrison

Your BIOS lists the boot options. Confirm if it's pointing to the correct storage device.

When Windows was running, it displayed the Windows logo on the Samsung SSD. I'm currently in the BIOS, but I'm unsure how to locate the boot drive. Appreciate your quick reply, Radium_Angel!

It seems you're trying to locate the boot settings but aren't sure which drive is being used. There might be a way from the recovery menu, though most options are failing except for a full wipe. The command prompt isn't clear to me either. Let me know if you need further help!
