Hey guys was hoping someone could help i just built my first pc and got it to boot into bios everything seems fine but i can't get my hdd to show up as a boot drive as it already has windows on it and i really don't want to have to install it. Ive done everything i could find on youtube but its just not working.

Need more information

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

No such thing as a z380, there's only z370 and z390

The old build being AMD has nothing to do with this issue

You might have your HDD connected to an ASMedia controller, don't use those. Look in your motherboard manual to see which ones it is and avoid them.
