I assume that’s because the usb stick is bootable? Does the SSD appear after you’ve booted?
Mine is behaving reasonably well ie it averages 2 ctrl-alt-dels before it appears and then boots, sometimes does it first time.
I don’t have the confidence to apply a bios update. I can’t find any info on what the update contains (so will it fix the problem?) and I have no idea how to restore it if the update fails and the bios is corrupted. Not going to spend £30 dollars and risk it. I’m happy as is so long as I have frequent backups of my data. The SSD has boosted the performance of my laptop 10 fold (just an estimate).
Nearly forgot, I’ve switched off sleep mode, I use hibernate only so if I forget to close a program, it will be saved and not lost by the ctrl-alt-del.
