Can you boot Windows? Does your PC use UEFI? If yes to both, then use EasyUEFI.exe to change the boot order.

Assuming you have UEFI, the easiest way is hold down shift and reboot Windows to enter UEFI then change boot order.

Yes, usually the BIOS menu (UEFI or otherwise) has an option to change the boot order. EasyUEFI.exe is an app you can use in Windows that changes the same boot order options for UEFI. Plus, it lets you add new items to the menu or delete items or hide items.

I would also recommend disabling RAID, in UEFI, if you are not using it as it looks like the system is doing a RAID controller scan instead of just booting off whichever disk you have Windows on.

I have looked on all the menus on there and cab,t see where to disable it?
Boot options?It only shows POP OS and just shows the names of the make of the SSD,s.
Windows is on an external drive. A third drive with another OS on it and a 2tb hard drive with nothing on it.
I don,t know why the other two OS,s don,t show in the boot menu with there names .?

Eh, we are a Dell shop here at work, can you tell us the model. Maybe HP has a guide on the available options online for us to reference.

Thanks for that.The Dell menus are straight forward i just went and changed the boot order in there.There is not an option like that on HP.I tried to sign up to there forum but i never got the email confirmation to join.The modal of my PC is HPZ230. MT. I got it after my fav Aussie You tuber recommend it
he does mention something about secure boot .Up to that point i was going to get an optiflex i was put off by the low powered PSU.I made the mistake of getting a SFF Dell 3020 the only one that you could only put an 1030 card in there. thats how i know about the boot menus on Dell.Before i saw his video i was going to get a MT version.

For Step 4 does your system show Raid?
