You need to configure your system to boot from the new SSD using UEFI settings. Check your BIOS/UEFI options for the correct boot sequence and ensure the drive is properly recognized.

Your query seems unclear. Can you clarify whether you're asking about a drive using UEFI or if the Windows installation is UEFI while the laptop itself isn't?

You're encountering an issue with your Alienware system where the desired action isn't available.

UEFI startup relies on the operating system, not the storage device.

I solved it. I took out the HDD and it now boots from the M.2.
