I still need the drive configuration,

And that corner just means the firmware is UEFI. Windows could be installed as legacy BIOS still. Make sure your CSM is enabled.

How do I check that? 

I currently cant boot into Windows due to there being nö boot option can I tell which one it is from the BIOS?

With CSM enabled, your firmware can boot both legacy BIOS and UEFI installs. On my MSI motherboard, it's located in advanced options, then with boot options.

This is what comes up, should I just trial and error between uefi and legacy?

It should be good to go. Next time you install Windows, launch the installer under UEFI to avoid this. :)

So can I enable the docp Profile again or could that cause an issue? Or was the csm not being enabled the problem I had? 

 

And thanks again so much for All the help

Run it for a few days as-is and see if original problem still exists. That way we can tell if the memory settings were unstable or not.

Since you have a legacy install, you need to have CSM on at all times unless you re-install windows. No point in doing that just for UEFI.

8 jus tchecked my BIOS once more and then I realized that my pc is only able to Boot from my hdd and not my ssd eventhough my ssd has the OS installed on it do you know how I can fix that? 

 

Would you recommended doing a fresh start and reinstalling the OS newly that way I can install it in uefi and maybe fix all the issue?

I would say to reinstall. It's fast these days. Make sure to backup your documents and stuff

Should I uninstall everything manually on my pc before doing it or can I just do a fresh start in windows setting, or should I just reinstall the OS all in all without doing anything? 

 

And do you know if reinstalling OS wears out the ssd alot or if it's fine
