How to Set Boot priority.
I needed to reformat my PC so it seemed like a good time to upgrade to an SSD. I reformatted my PC, but then it wouldn't detect the 950 pro during windows installer, even after I tried Installing a driver, so I decided to just install the OS on the HDD and then clone onto the SSD. I've got the computer now running on the SSD, and have formatted the HDD, but every time I start the pc I have to manually go into the boot menu and select the SSD because it keeps trying to boot from the HDD. Am I missing something in the BIOS?

Hi,
Yes, you need to enter the BIOS, then go to the BOOT tab and change the Boot Option Priorities.
Let me know if you need something else!

Alright, so before I saw your reply, I did a clean install back to my HDD because I couldn't install Samsung's Drivers, and Samsung Magician wouldn't recognize the drive out of AHCI instead of RAID.
I'm in my clean install right now, and while the 950 Pro is detected in BIOS, its not seen in Device Manager or Disk Management. I want to format it then try to do a clean install on it as my boot drive. Where should I begin? I don't know how to format the drive its not visible in device manager or disk management. I also ran
1.)Should I install in AHCI, where Samsung's software and drivers recognize it properly? Last time I tried to Install in AHCI i kept getting an error about the Drive not being formatted properly.
2.) Should I do an F6 Intel RST install in RAID, where the drive seemed to function properly but I didn't have access to the drive in Samsung's software and could not install their drivers? I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to all of this stuff.
3.) Should I see if the drive is detected in Cloning software and simply clone this Install of windows?
4.)I ran Diskpart in command prompt, then list disk, and only the HDD showed up.
I'm at a bit of a loss!
