I have a question,

I recently installed windows on my new SSD. I did this by using my dads computer with his NVME SSD still plugged into the motherboard.

I did the install on my SSD, shut off the pc and unplugged that same SSD. Now when i boot up his PC it keeps asking which Windows install i want to load, Volume 3 (his NVME SSD) or Volume 6 which is my new one but its not plugged in anymore.

How can i get rid of this? It slows down his boot times by 30 seconds.

Here is a picture of it:

You may want to see about a boot member fix if it thinks there are two instances of windows to boot from.

This is usually avoided by installing windows with no other drives connected.
