Trying to boot off of a m.2 ssd

[HungryPancakes]

I purchased a Samsung 850 evo 500gb. I got the drive into the laptop (Msi gt-72) and cloned the hard drive (against my wishes). The clone worked fine and the drive is readable. When I go into the bios I can't select the ssd as the boot drive. It recognizes as a drive in the drive info section however. I'm not really sure what I did wrong if anything, or this just does work.

did you just clone the c drive or the whole HDD with the other system/hidden partition too?

Well, no. I wanted clean install of the ps, but my friend insisted strongly that I use his cloning program which only ended up cloning the c drive.

Do a clean install, it a lot better then cloning.
