Hi FlorisTwoPointO,
You were doing the right thing. Since Windows is installed on the SSD, it should be on the first place of the boot order. If you are able to navigate freely in the BIOS menu, but your PC cannot boot to Windows, most probably, there is a hard drive issue or a SATA port problem. I would suggest you to disconnect all connected hard drives except the SSD. Try to boot again. Does the issue persist?
Restore BIOS to its default settings and try again. While in BIOS, please check if you have the hard drive in AHCI mode.
Let me know if there is progress!
Hope this helps
