T550 M.2 2242 SSD as primary boot disk?

[blang88]

Hi everyone,

I have an old T550 that I'm going to dust off and use as a 2nd pc however I want to give it some upgrades first. Most important is to change the HDD. It's currently using an old SATA HDD as the boot disk but it came with a small 16G M.2 2242 SATA6G SSD that Lenovo was using for Express Cache. If I buy a larger M.2 2242 SSD to replace the 16G one, can I use this as the primary boot disk? If so, can anyone provide advice on how I can do so?

Thanks!

It should be as simple as setting the boot order in the BIOS...

Ok cool, just wanted to make sure there was no strange mechanism that might prevent that controller from being the primary boot disk.
