Hello Everyone!
Sorry that this is kind of long, but please read it. I tried to make it as detailed as humanly possible. I really need help on this issue.
So I recently built my first PC
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3PyGnn
And I put my OS (Windows 10 Home 64-Bit) onto my SSD through a Windows 10 Bootable USB (AKA I downloaded the Windows 10 Tool from this website https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 into a flash drive from another PC and put the flash drive into my new build, went into BIOS, and booted from the flash drive to enter Windows Installation). However, I didn't follow advice to disconnect my HDD while installing my OS onto my SSD. Afterwards, I noticed that Boot Option #1 in my BIOS was Windows Boot Manager (SSD), Boot Option #2 was my actual SSD, and Boot Option #3 was my HDD.
I read a few forums about this issue of Windows Boot Manager, and noticed that a common issue was that people would only be able to boot from Windows Boot Manager and fail to boot from their SSD. The common cause was that people did not disconnect their HDD while installing Windows into their SSD, like me. (http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3022667/ssd-uefi-windows-boot-manager-windows.html and http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2700660/windows-install-ssd-system-boots-option-bios-windows-boot-manager-ssd.html) However, both Boot Options (Windows Boot Manager and my SSD) work perfectly well for me. The only difference in the boot is that:
-When booting from Windows Boot Manager, the boot screen first displays the ASUS logo (I assume from my ASUS motherboard) and a message to press F2 or DEL to enter BIOS, then displays the ASUS logo again with a "loading" throbber, and then prompts me to log in to my Windows User Account.
-When booting from the SSD, the boot screen first displays the ASUS logo (I assume from my ASUS motherboard) and a message to press F2 or DEL to enter BIOS, then displays the Windows logo, then prompts me to log in to my Windows User Account.
Both options, however, boot perfectly well, and I was wondering why this happened. Also, which boot option do you recommend I use? Thank you!
