So is your HDD still connected? did you format your HDD already to remove any traces of Windows? You could also either do a reinstall with just your SSD connected. Or you can boot off the install usb, then choose repair option and use CMD to repair the bootloader.

BOOTREC /FIXBOOT

So I installed windows 10 to my ssd without a problem and no errors were given however when I try to boot from the ssd it says I need a bootable drive or smth like that. But if I boot using my hdd it has a boot manager therefore boots into windows 10. How can I fix this?

Does it say boot device not found” ? If so, double checked your new SSD is set as first boot device in your BIOS? When installing Windows it sets the USB as primary boot device.

I did the order in the UEFI and even went in the boot menu to select the ssd and says boot device not found. What sus is that my hard drive has a thing called windows boot manager but ssd doesn't. Even went on the hdd to check the filed and all windows 10 files where on the ssd.
