After the Clone - Changing your boot drive
Once you have cloned your system to your Velocity Solo drive, you have
two options.
1. Remove your original drive, thereby forcing your system to boot from
the Velocity Solo drive.
2. Go into your system’s BIOS and change your boot order to the Velocity
Solo drive, keeping your original drive for storage.
Entering your computer’s BIOS to change the boot order is dependent on your
particular system. For directions that apply to your particular system, please
refer to your computer’s product manual.
