I have looked around on forums but cant seem to find something that fits my situation. recently I have trouble with assassin's creed valhalla and cold war where I cannot complete campaign and keep getting crashes. its software related as I put 18 hours on ac before the crash. But i recently got my hands on a nvme and installed a new copy of windows on it and the uplay launcher(games installed on a separate HD) and the game worked fine, same with cod. so im hoping i can keep both my mnve and ssd plugged in but chose which one i boot of without going into the bios every time. (not sure whats happening with the ssd to stop games working but I use all the software so want a basic clean windows just to play games as such with problems.  hope someone can help me out.

When you turn on your PC mash F8 a few times to open the boot menu (note its F8 on most boards) and you can choose without opening BIOS.

Most motherboards have "show boot menu/options" key that will allow you to directly select which device you boot from without having to change the order in the bios.

CPU: i7 3770K | MB: EVGA Z77 FTW | RAM: HyperX Savage 2400Mhz 16GB | GPU: R9 280X Toxic | Cooler: Scythe Fuma | PSU: CoolerMaster B600

SSD: Crucial MX300 525GB | HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB - Toshiba DT01ACA300 3TB

This is for Asus. For MSI is F12, for ASrock (if I good remember) F11 (or F12 too). Don't know for Gigabyte.
