Hello, today when I entered BIOS I see that my PC has two boot priorities for one instance of Windows10.
BOOT priorities:
  1. UEFI OS (here is the name of my SSD)
  2. Windows Boot Manager (here is exactly the same name of my SSD)
What do I need to do with that situation? And what's a better BOOT priority: the first one or the second one? I think they both boot me into Windows with no problem.

I would leave it as is since it works,

they are essentially the same thing.

Windows Boot manager is a sort of directory. it can be used to track all bootable devices on PC, so it only shows one in your PC as that is all you have. If you had more bootable drives, its possible 2 choices for WBM would appear, each with a different ssd name after them.
Windows boot manager can boot bother GPT & MBR drives.

both point at the ssd

Biggest propblem with WBM is it shares exact same name as the windows boot loader... so hard to find a result that is on right topic.
