Windows 10: Windows Setup on Boot Manager

Hi All,

Recently built my first PC with a pretty good knowledge of things (So i thought!).

When I built the PC, I accidentally installed windows 10 on my HDD instead of my SSD. Rookie error.

Used iSumsoft Cloner to move it over to my SSD without any issues, but now everytime i boot, there is the windows boot manager menu on startup, with 2 options. Windows 10, and Windows Setup.

If i select windows 10 my pc boots fine, but Windows setup tells me that i need the USB that I installed windows from to continue. I've tried to plug the USB in, and it still shows up.

In terms of fixing this, I've tried to use EasyBCD, but it cannnot find the boot registry information.

Can anyone help fixing this? it's extremely minor but slightly annoying! Using Windows Home Version 20H2

TIA

:)

 

Windows boot manager

There could be some system conflict triggered after the said changes. To help you with your concern, we suggest that you perform a clean boot. A
clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This will help to determine what is causing the issue on the Windows boot manager. To do this, click on this
link and scroll down to the
How to determine what is causing the problem by performing a clean boot section then follow the steps listed..

Note: If the installation is successful and the issue has been resolved. Please go through the section “How to reset the computer to start as usual” to reset your computer to the normal startup.

Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested steps.

Or at the very least, make sure that your hard drive boot order is correct, because it will take the first writable drive in the boot list to determine where to put the boot loader. As Jester suggested, pop the Windows install disk in, make sure your boot order is correct (or unplug the drive,) and run repair. It's really that simple.
