OK, after fiddling in the bios for some time, I finally figured it out. For those who are having my same issue, here's how to fix it.

 

1. Boot into the BIOS by pressing delete during POST.

2. (for MSI motherboards) Click the button on the top right that says "Settings"

3. Click on "Boot" in the drop-down list.

4. On the second list from the top, next to 1st Boot, click that and select your SSD from the list. Back out from that. 

5. Click on Hard Disk Drive BBS Priorities.

6. On the "1st Boot" row click and select your SSD.

7. On the "2nd Boot" row, click and select "Disabled."

Hello all,

 

I received an SSD for Christmas, and just today I decided to do a clean install of Windows 10 to it. I rearranged my boot order to have the SSD at the front, the hard drive at the back. My computer boots into my hard drive OS. However, when I press F11 on start up to force it to boot to a drive, and I force it to boot to my SSD, it works. Does anyone have any idea why it might be doing this and how to fix it?

 

EDIT: Motherboard is MSI Z97s SLI Krait Edition if you need it.

motherboard?

Sorry, I don't look at sigs. They're always a mess and give me a headache when I try to read them.

 

MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition. Should've provided that. Edited :P

Did you place the SSD to the left on the boot priority bar?

 

Yes, very far left. HDD is on the very far right.

go into the settings and look for 'hard drive boot order'

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.
