UPDATE: Apparently the 'press del for BIOS' not showing is due to 'fast boot' being enabled'. I disabled and it made no diff. I found out that if you have recently had Windows 10 installed on an SSD, there is no more 'BIOS' mode, its apparently UEFI mode. So I managed to get into the 'BIOS?' by going to the settings, restart, trouble shooting etc and I restarted PC and it auto loaded the BIOS. Still it displays 1st boot order as Windows Boot manager..?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just setup a new SSD and installed Windows (bootable usb) onto it. I had my CD-Rom and internal HD disconnected. It all went well, PC booted up, I didnt even have to change any boot order, or set bootable USB to no.1 as I turned on my PC and it went into installing Windows 10
So I used my PC for a bit, installed a few things etc so it was usable.
But I dont think I could get into BIOS. There was not the same 'loading' screen as before. Before it said, press del for bios, f11 for something else etc. This time it just said 'msi' and loaded my account.
So not sure if I pressed f11 or del but it somehow got into BIOS and I see this as boot order >>>http://imgur.com/a/imaYn and http://imgur.com/a/2rNtB
My SSD does not show but it still boots into Windows. I click the '+' buton (top right) and see the 'Windows Boot Manager (PO: Samsung SSD...') option http://imgur.com/a/lKwAd
Do I select the SSD and then I place it as boot order 1 I guess?
Also really scary, I relieved 'your pc just ran into a problem'. I think pressing f11 and the loading or something caused that, then it ran a percentage scan and went away.
Help! 🙁 many thanks, hopefully I can get this slight issue fixed
