I do not know much about computers or fixing them. I usually bring my laptop to a local computer shop for repairs, but they are closed right now due to COVID. Ive had this same issue multiple times where the boot drives on my laptop randomly get out of order. The repair shop has always been able to resolve this for me, but now it happened again and Ive been trying to figure out how to fix this issue on my own. I can get to the "boot options" screen but I have no idea what I need to change. Is anyone able to guide me in the right direction? I just need my computer to boot up from its internal harddrive. Pictures included: the black error screen I get when I boot up the laptop, and the screen with my current boot setting.
