"Reboot and Select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device"

Hi, I recently built a new PC with a 1TB Samsung 860 EVO SSD. I'm installing Windows 10 via USB and I've made the USB top priority in the boot list. However, when I exit BIOS, It gives me an error saying "Reboot and Select proper boot device or insert
boot media in selected boot device and press a." Is their a solution to this?

Reboot and select proper Boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press ok,

My power supply failed because the fan stopped working and then I replaced the PS. But, after the PS was replaced and booted PC when I got ;Reboot and select proper Boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press ok . So, then I checked
my BIOS and made the correction -working now.

Reboot and Select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device

Hi Ryan,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

Have you installed the OS after changing the hard drive?

If you have and if you are still getting this error message, I would suggest you to go to BIOS and set the right boot order.

I suggest you to download the Windows 10 ISO and create a Media Creation tool from different computer and then perform Automatic Repair.

Refer to the following link:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

(Refer to the section "Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool " in the above article
for creating the tool).

Once you have the installation media, follow the steps:

Start your computer from the installation media. Insert the disk or USB stick and restart your computer. If you see a message asking you to “Press any key to boot from DVD,” do so. If you don’t see the message, you might need to
change the boot order in your computer's BIOS settings so that it first starts from the disk or USB. When you see the 'Install Windows' page, tap or click 'Repair your computer' link to start the Windows Recovery Environment.

In the Windows Recovery Environment, on the Choose an option screen, click 'Troubleshoot'.

Click, Advanced Options and then click on 'Automatic Repair'.

After this complete the repair and see if you are able to boot in to your computer.

If the issue still persists, I would suggest you to try boot rec commands from winRE

To run Startup Repair from the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE), follow these steps:

1. Insert the Windows installation disc into the disc drive, and then start the computer.

2. Press a key when the message Press any key to boot from CD or DVD appears.

If your PC does not detect the media automatically

During the restart process, read the screen for any instructions that explain how to interrupt normal startup and enter the basic input/output system (BIOS) setup utility. Most PCs use the F2, F10, ESC, or DEL key to begin the
BIOS Setup.

Look for a tab in the BIOS Setup Utility that is labeled
Boot Order, Boot Options, or
Boot. Following the directions on the screen, use the arrow keys to go to the
Boot Order, then press Enter.

Locate the CD, DVD, or USB flash drive (this might be called Removable Device) in the Boot list. Following the directions on the screen, use the arrow keys to move the drive up so that it appears first in the Boot list. Press Enter.
The boot order sequence is now changed to boot from the CD, DVD, or USB flash drive.

Press F10 to save your changes and to exit the BIOS Setup Utility. Select
Yes in the confirmation window. The PC will restart.

3. Select a language, a time and a currency, a keyboard or input method, and then click
Next.

4. Click Repair your computer.

5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, select the drive of your Windows installation, and then click
Next.

6. At the System Recovery Options dialog box, click
Repair your computer.

7. Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click
Next.

8. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click
Startup Repair.
