My laptop won't start unless i press F11 and select the new SSD

I made a mistake and i can't fix it. Here are the steps that got me here:

1- I bought a new SSD for my laptop then i replaced it with the old one.

2- Downloaded Media creation to a USB flash drive in order to reinstall Windows 10 to the SSD.

3- Replaced the old SSD with the new one.

4- I had to restart the laptop multi times til it responded to me pressing "F11" key, ( Maybe F12 I'm not sure because i pressed both of them).

5- Booted from the USB flash drive and while reinstalling Windows 10 on the new SSD, I got a black screen with white horizontal non-continuing lines on the bottom section of the screen, waited for some time but it didn't change back, so i repeated "step 4", and successfully reinstalled Windows 10 without any interruptions.

6- Opened Disk management tool and found a "Unallocated disk, 51mb" with the main new disk, And i guess i have it because of the 1st failed try of reinstalling Windows 10, and i couldn't delete it.

Current issue is: when i start my laptop i get a "press F1 to continue or F5.. etc". I have to restart my laptop and press "F11" to choose to boot from the new SSD.

I successfully won and failed in the same time. How can i get my laptop to start normally without the hassle of pressing F11 and choose what to boot the device with. Please help.
