I have a laptop with a 128GB SSD and standard hard drive of 1TB. I formatted the SSD and each time I attempt to install Windows on the SSD the system will speed through the steps and send me right back into a reboot and I'm right back where I started. I'm completely at a loss and any help would be greatly appreciated I thank you in advance! I'm attempting to install Windows Home 64-bit version

At the first Reboot, remove the USB Flash Drive Windows Installer and the computer will boot from the SSD. If you leave it in, it may boot from the Flash drive again.

Thanks, spunk.funk. I had a response on MS community support that said the same. It would have been nice if that instruction would be given during the process.

Not sure how to mark this thread solved.

If you did a One time change of Boot order (ie) by pressing F12, or F9 on an HP, The SSD would still be the First Boot Device in the Bios, but if the Boot Order is set to USB Flash Drive First in the Bios, then it will continue to boot from the Flash drive until you pull it out, that is on some computers, not all of them though.

I'll remember the F9 trick! Good info. Thanks again 👍
