Could you please clarify the steps I need to take in order to boot my computer with an M.2 SSD? I'm a bit unsure of the process and would appreciate any guidance you can provide. Is it as simple as installing the SSD into the designated slot on my motherboard, connecting any necessary cables, and then adjusting my BIOS settings to prioritize the M.2 SSD as the boot drive? Or are there any additional steps I should be aware of? Thank you for your help.

In the "Boot" or "Boot Order" section, users will find a list of all the available boot devices on their computer. This list includes both internal and external drives, such as hard drives, solid-state drives, USB drives, and optical drives.

The process of setting the boot order in a computer's BIOS or UEFI is essential for users who wish to prioritize certain hardware components during the startup process. This is typically done to ensure that the operating system loads from the desired drive.

To access the BIOS/UEFI settings, users need to restart their computer and press a specific key during the initial boot-up sequence. This key can vary by manufacturer, but commonly used keys include Delete, F1, F2, F10, or Esc.

Once in the BIOS/UEFI settings, users should navigate to the "Advanced" or "Boot" tab. Depending on the specific BIOS/UEFI version, the exact location of this tab may vary.

To prioritize the M.2 drive over the SATA drive, users should locate the M.2 drive in the boot order list and move it to the top of the list. This can typically be done by using the arrow keys on the keyboard to select the M.2 drive and then pressing the "+" or "-" keys to move it up or down in the list.
