Hello everybody! I have recently purchased a computer from cyberpowerpc with a msi krait gaming z170A motherboard. I turned on my computer, then booted from cd/dvd (to install windows). It proceeded through the installation process (onto my 256GB SSD) and seemed to finish, it then said it needed to restart. When it did it brought me to EFI Shell 2.40 and I don't know how to set it up to boot windows from that SSD. Any help I can get I'd appreciate. Thanks.

MORE INFO: I have tried looking around in the settings of the MSI Bios, and have tried looking at commands that exist within the EFI. How ever booting in all these circumstance only results in being brought back to the EFI. I am still able to access the Bios, but beyond that I am unable to boot windows.

Hello again, so as it would turn out ( for those of you with a similar issue) if you go to the Bios > Settings > Boot towards the bottom there should be an option to edit option #1. (this is after you have installed windows!) and you should be able to select Windows Boot Manager. After this save your bios, then the boot should work and launch windows! Best of luck to you all.
