Computer gets into BIOS but no boot!

Hi all,

I got some fantastic help on another thread and wondered if you could help here.

I build via youtube and am certainly not super clued up on things!

You can see my bios here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u215c24l9lx92ox/1.jpg?dl=0

and boot list here:

My windows is on my M2 drive which is showing under "storage" but i just cant get it to boot from it. I am sure I am doing something wrong.

All help appreciated!

Oh and when I boot up, it just goes straight into BIOS. No other previous loading screen. Thanks!

Set the bios to boot from Windows Boot Manager or something like that. That's what your boot partition is called.

Thanks, mind explaining that like im five or pointing me in the direction of a guide?

Thanks!

You need to be in advanced mode. Hit f7, then click boot. Set boot option 1 to uefi hard disk. Then click UEFI hard disk drive bbs priorities. Set boot option 1 to Windows boot manager.

Mine is set to uefi hard disk first but I cant find "hard disk BBS priorities"

If you compare my screenshot in the original post to this from msi https://www.msi.com/support/technical_details/MB_Boot_Priority

I don't have that option at the bottom

Thanks!

Same board as me Here are my settings. Go into the Settings section to check.

Make sure AHCI is ON and not set to RAID

Thanks!

So... mine is set to CSM, but i can chage this to UEFI easily.

Sorry for caps, it makes me happier im explaining it properly as im not fantastic with this stuff! Shall i send updated photos?

I also still do not have that bbs priorities option.
