I recently bought an crucial 500gb ssd for my computer and did a install for windows 10 onto it using a flashdrive. Now when i boot my computer in the bios it ask me if i want to start windows 10 volume 2, or windows 10 volume 7. When i click volume 2 it boots but volume 7 does not, so i formated my old hdd and it still ask which windows to boot to. does anybody know how i can stop it from asking me on boot.

You might have 2 installed versions of Windows on your drive. Best and cleanest way to deal with this is reinstalling Windows again.

You could also check and disable one:
1) Click start
2) Type "msconfig"
3) Press enter
4) Open tab "Boot" (not sure what it's called in translation to my OS, anyway, the second tab)
5) There should be one line, if there is two, check wich one is which and disable the wrong one

Do you have any other drives on the machine? Maybe an old HDD with Windows installed on it? If yes, try disconnecting this old drive and see if it will boot from the new SSD.
