Possible problem: active partition. Run Disk Management and look for any partitions marked as active. Your old SSD has had OS installed, so depending on the order in which you do things your old SSD might have an active partition which screws things up when installing and booting from the Nvme drive. |

Another possibility (what I would do), is to install Easybcd and create an entry for your other O.S. drive. Very easy. ------------- X399 Pro Gaming, 2990wx Threadripper,128GB G.Skill RGB 3200,EVGA 1200 P2,EVGA GTX 1080 Ti x 2 SLI, Enermax Liqtech 360mm,Samsung 970 EVO/960 Pro/850 EVOs, Toshiba x300 HDDs, Thermaltake Chaser MK-1 |

should be a boot manager problem and the old ssd is overtaking the boot just a quick question is the old one installed as legacy or GPT either way try installing windows with only the m.2 in the system and see will it boot. or the lazy way is use samsung migration -------------
