I have both an ssd and a 1 tb HDD 

the ssd says its "partitioned" what does this mean? I want to load the OS on my SSD.

 

It means that SSD is formatted already. Doesn't mean that it already has stuff, just that it is from earlier build or something. Your HDD needs to be partitioned. Either in that wizard or in OS.

^^^^ That's my post ^^^^

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding the boot drive. Im trying to boot off my windows installation USB but i'm confused. Which one should I select? (its for a friend)

 

I guess you mean:

"SanDisk" (your USB flash drive brand) vs "UEFI SanDisk"

 

Your UEFI is asking you:

Do you want to boot the USB flash drive in:

  • Legacy mode for old very old OS or non UEFI complaint OSs
    or
  • I treat it as a modern OS that knows what a UEFI (UEFI: SandDisk)

If you pick "UEFI: SanDisk", and your UEFI is properly setup (UEFI enabled, CSM disabled), Windows setup will install Windows for UEFI based system, making you enjoy the many benefits of UEFI, including fast boot times.

 

If you pick "SanDisk" only, then the UEFI will emulate the old BIOS, Windows will install thinking your systsem is an old BIOS based system, and from now on, you'll be stuck in BIOS mode, until you wipe the system clean, and do it right, or look into conversion (risky, time consuming).
