While tryin to fix one problem, I caused a new one. In BIOS upon exit i hit change to optimal defaults. Now my Windows wont boot up. Tried a few things I found on internet to no avail. I dont know much about computers but I am intelligent, so if anyone could walk me through how to fix this would be great. I dont wanna have to reinstall windows and cant afford to take it to a shop. Thank you so much and hopefully we can figure it our.

FAQ & Answers
Now that your computer is dead anyway, you can afford some trial and error: try toggling between UEFI and Legacy boot modes, turning secure boot on and off to start.
You can set a password in the "security" tab.
After you set a password go to the "boot" tab and disable secure boot, then see if windows boots. Toggle between UEFI and Legacy while it is off too.
What did you mean when you say "windows won't boot"? Are there any error messages or does it just freeze on the acer boot screen?

At this point I'd try installing windows to the additional SSD you have to check if the problem lies with the windows installation itself
Get a USB drive, make a windows bootable disk and install windows to a separate partition. Since you have 2 SSDs you should have enough space
