HP Recommended
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Greetings, the computer doesn't let me boot from my Samsung SSD. It shows it in the BIOS, in boot order configurations, but when its time to boot up, it says ''this version only supports CDROM and hard disk drives'', and it proceeds to attempt to boot from the hard disk. 

I genuinely feel as if I have exhausted every option. At first I cloned windows to my SSD, but then i found out that didnt work, so I formatted it, converted it from GPT to mbr and got a fresh Windows on it through a USB stick, but I never could go to set it up due to it not letting me boot through my SSD.

(so the windows set up allowed me to make the first step towards putting Windows on it, but not the next steps cause it wouldn't let me boot from the SSD)

Any help is appreciated, thank you
