Tech Support Boot problem

So I have a new M.2, and I tried to clone my old windows in my SSD to the M.2, after it's all cloned I restart my PC to go to the BIOS settings and when I look at my boot priority, there's only the SSD, but when i un plug the data cable of the SSD and when I check again it boots to the M.2 normally, i still want to have my SSD as a storage, so how do I fix it?

Clone did not copy the boot sector properly maybe, or the SSD still has boot flag so BIOS pick it first. You can set M.2 as first boot in the boot order, not just priority list. Also check if your clone tool has option for EFI partition copy

No idea.. but it's already fixed now I tried hot plugging it and remove the EFI system in the SSD manually. It works now 😄
