So I was trying to clone windows to my newly purchased SSD and that failed so I created an ISO of a fresh copy of windows 10 onto a FAT-32 partition on my SSD of 32gb. My problem is I can not remove it and when I try to boot it is automatically set to boot into the install even though I disable it to boot various times on bootup.

Here's a screenshot of my disk management so you guys get the idea. Windows is on my SSD.

Hey there, JeseDoc.

It looks like a bit of a mess. I'd recommend that you create a bootable installation media by following this tutorial: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/15088/windows-create-installation-media by using a DVD or a USB flash drive and try installing Windows from scratch (after reformatting the SSD). Here's how to make a clean install of Win 10: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1950-windows-10-clean-install.html

I'd strongly suggest that you disconnect all secondary drives during the Windows installation process, in order to avoid future booting issues.

Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any questions.
