So I resetted a PC yesterday and during the windows installing it froze which forced me to unplug and replug it since it wouldn't manually turn on with the power button.Upon restarting,I got an error message which I fixed by changing a number from 1 to 3 in the regedit.Then the problem became that I got an infinite boot loop.The computer would start,install windows to 64% and then restart and just keep on doing that.I decided to then simply do a fresh install from an USB with the windows creation tool.Once the install done I restarted the pc,went in the bios,changed the boot device to the SSD,unpluged the USB and restarted the computer.Here's the thing though.When starting the computer,it would tell me to choose a bootable device since it would not recognize any.At first I thought that the windows installation failed so I just went  back to the creation tool to do it again.Thing is,the SSD  had 10GB of space gone which suggests that the installation did in fact work.So basically my question is.How do I get the PC to recognize the SSD upon start up?

Do you have another boot device listed?

Mine won't boot with SSD as #1, instead it has it's own called "Windows something something....."

I have to put that as #1 for it to boot.

It's not a race to the bottom.
