I’ve recently set out to move my os to a new ssd and I decided to go with a clean install, so I installed windows onto a Kingston ssd using a bootable USB. Now that I have put the os on the ssd and made it the boot source in the BIOS, when I try to boot it tells me: “Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Imsert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key”

I’ve cleared the ssd and [strike]reloaded[/strike] reinstalled windows on it, there are no othe hard drives plugged in, no USBs.
Please help I’ve been at this for hours.

Motherboard is a MSI B150M btw

For example, select UEFI: USB Drive (Windows Boot Manager manager may also work) by listing that device in the first boot slot on the board. Reboot.Install begins.
When choosing an installation type, select Custom.Here you will delete all partitions showing.

Select the unallocated space and click Next. Windows detects that the PC was...

Select the unallocated space and click Next. Windows detects that the PC was booted into UEFI mode, and reformats the drive using the GPT drive format, and begins the installation.
