    Hello,
    I have a dell m6800 and I have an HDD and a SSD in it, I want to change de Operative System to the SSD so I can use the HDD as a storage only.
    The problem is that I don't know how, so I will be so glad if somebody can help me!

    ^_^

    Turn off your computer, if powered.
    Give it a few seconds.
    Turn it back on, and immediately start taping F12 a couple times a second.
    From the one time boot menu, on the left hand side, navigate to Settings > General > Boot sequence.

    Select the SSD in upper right white boxes, using the arrows put it to the top of the list.

    If any issues arise with the new drive (ie the cloning of the drive wasn't good and it fails to boot) just go through these steps again and put the original disk back at the top of the list. The system always tries to boot from the topmost device and goes down the list until it finds a valid device.
