Reboot and select a proper boot device, whenever turning on PC

[AlbanHampton]

Alright guys, so I recently upgraded to a kingston SSD, I installed a fresh copy of windows 10 on it, but whenever I turn on my PC I am welcomed by a "Reboot and select a proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key"

The only way I can get into windows is going into the bios, then exiting it, then it loads up windows? Weird.

Anyone got any suggestions? I'm also using a 1tb seagate external HDD aswell as a 500GB internal seagate HDD if that helps.

Set the SSD in the BIOS to first in boot sequence.

do you have the os only on the ssd and did you put it as first boot device in bios and apply system dont find it also unplug the hdd from system to boot in first time .

"Reboot and select a proper boot device"; Means the BIOS did not find the boot drive.

1. If you have the HDD connected to the #1 SATA port and the SSD to the #2, invert them so the SSD is in #1... people think this drive order doesn't matter but the BIOS will try booting the 1st drive in the list and if this is the HDD, that's where it fails to find the boot drive... Or you can instead (or also) set the SSD as #1 boot drive in the BIOS, no matter which SATA port it is connected to.

2. Also if necessary after applying previous suggestions, follow though with the "insert boot media" suggestion, and perform an Automated Repair which should correct the bootloader settings.
