So I wanted to install Windows 10 onto my ssd and wipe my hardrive (my previous OS drive) as it got corrupted by adware. So I make a media key installer for USB and stick it in and boot from it. Turns out I have to convert my ssd from gpt to mbr because of stuff. So I take 2 hours doing that. Get to the installation bit and it install Windows 10 on my ssd and is ready to restart. It restarts and I take out my USB drive (installation drive) and it tried booting into my ssd but then it says "An operating system wasn't found. Try disconnecting any drives that don't contain an operating system". Super disappointed I've spent this much time on this predicament but have got no where. Don't know what I should do to get my computer to recognise the windows installed or fix it if it's a corrupt installation (btw done this process like 3 times each time formatting the drive in between so it can't be a minor problem)
Any help would be appreciated

Because you installed the OS, with both drives connected.
The boot partition was installed on the HDD. Remove that, and no boot for you.

(and Windows did that all by itself. Not a selection you missed)

Solution?
Since this is a brand new install, redo it.
With only the SSD connected.
