Question New PC taking ages to restart?

[Snak3yz]

So I built my first PC today and it actually went really well, the PC turned on after one small fix (forgot to plug in HDD) and has been fine. However, when one of my games wouldn't open I decided to restart my PC and it took about 10/15 minutes to turn off and restart. Could I have installed something wrong with my build? I have considered moving Windows from my HHD to SSD because apparently that'll make things faster but I never had this issues before with my old PC. And if I do move Windows to my SSD, how in the heck do I do that? Do I need a certain program or?

Do you have a detailed list of what you have specifically in your build?

Did it takes 10/15 minutes to turn off or restart? Was it only for 1 time and is it doing it again now?

ryzen 7 3700x and wraith prism cooler
gigabtye gaming x570mobo

Yeah I restarted a coupe of times and each time it took ages. Come to think of it, when I first turned it on and entered bios that took a very long time too

Whats your GPU? ALso Check BIOS to see what is booting up first. Are one of you SSD drives an NVMe? or they both internal/external?

Right in the MIddle of your BIOS (if youre in easy mode) should be the Storage devices you have connected. BIOS <-- click this for reference. What you are looking for is the HDD to be at the top, as you say that is where your OS is. Also its pretty easy to swap the OS to the SSD i will post that now. https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/installing-ssd.3592310/#post-21680580 Read Post #7 that will tell you how to do it.

Sorry have only got around to this now. So I’m looking to change my boot options? This is what I’m seeing in bios, do I need to change this boot option #1 to a different drive?

The two Samsung ones are my ssds, not sure what the p4 or windows boot manager which is that it’s on are. (I’ve never been into bios properly so this all means nothing to me, sorry if I’m asking dumb questions haha)
