I recently bought a Samsung 970 Pro 1TB SSD for my PC as I haven't had the money or need for any upgrades since I originally built it. To do a clean install of Windows 10 onto the SSD, I've disconnected my two other drives and adjusted my BIOS in multiple different ways as suggested in different forums I've stumbled upon. This includes having CSM Enabled and Disabled, Secure boot enable and disabled, boot into UEFI and other OS, with differing setups of all those settings.
When I run the Windows installer from a USB, the install will seemingly work onto the SSD, but when my system reboots, the installation manager will start again, not moving to the final installation point. But when booting into the BIOS, the SSD will not show as a bootable drive, and the only visible boot option is the USB.
I'd really appreciate any advice as this is the first time I've had enough disposable income to get a function PC since I built it and don't want the slow boot of OS and games to deter me from using it.
