I had restarted my pc so I could put windows onto my ssd instead of my hdd. When I reinstall Windows it copies files and completed installation and when it restarted it goes back to the installation with select language. I have tried many ways to fix this, such as removing the usb stick after installation and putting my ssd as first priority in my bios but nothing seems to work.
Help would be much appreciated. Thank you

Try it maybe the ssd was the problem all along.(besides the bios setting, witch are probably right now)..don't forget to check that 1st when booting up with other drive before installing windows.

You have to do it in the right order... enter bios set BBS, save... restart, enter bios choose boot from (USB) (install media device)... setup (format drive, delete partitions) windows install... restart....enter bios set boot from... save ..restart (this time select the SSD) if it doesn't work we might need more support here.

when you said this : when i put the ssd firsf it says to reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media and im not sure how to enable secure boot as it says to do something with platform key and i. not sure how to do this

This was going the right way , try to get this message again! again format and delete all partitions then after windows restart after installing just go to the bios and select the boot drive witch should be the ssd you just installed too. EASY.

( you have to delete and format the all partition of the drive O and install with only the ssd selected in the windows setup )( don't create new just click next) You have to do it in the right order... enter bios set BBS, save... restart, enter bios choose boot from (USB) (install media windows)... setup windows(format and delete partitions) restart....enter bios set boot from (this time select the SSD {windows that you just installed}) save ..restart let windows do it thing

You only have to select the BBS priorities or whatever it called in your bios once, then it should work right.

It will only do that if: if you did not delete all the partitions in custom setup or if you did not change boot option back from usb to ssd after windows restart the installation.

Remember the right order is the only thing that will make it work. if that doesn't work go and create a new USB install media.
