Windows Installation Help

I have asked a million questions about my first pc build on this site and I have finally finished.  I do have one final question though, I have successfully booted from a USB drive and started the windows installation process.  I noticed though that after each restart it appears as though I am doing the same thing over and over again (same exact prompts, same exact everything pretty much) and I was wondering if this was normal.  Thanks for all of your amazing help.

Are you re-installing Windows 7 each time you boot up your pc?

Are you re-installing Windows 7 each time you boot up your pc?

.I am trying to install windows for the first time.  Whats happening is it says it will have to restart several times through out installation, but each time it restarts it appears to be taking me back to the very first step and installing the same thing over and over again.

 

 

At some point in the installation, Windows will reboot and try to boot from the C: drive to complete. If you have your boot order still prioritizing the thumb drive, it'll keep looping you back to the initial installation.

So would you recommend going into the BIOS during thew next restart and changing the boot order to prioritize my SSD.
