At startup, press F11 for Boot menu. Select the disk you've installed to. This is
essentially telling your motherboard's firmware, please boot from this disk on this
occasion (one-off).
If this works as expected, make the change permanent:
1) reboot
2) press F2 or delete to run UEFI Setup
3) find the startup disk / primary boot device in the menu options and ensure that
the motherboard is configured to boot from the disk that you've installed the
operating system onto.
It probably doesn't matter which SATA slot the drive is plugged into. I remember
there was a time when it did make a difference (Parallel ATA) but, now, drives are
likely to be referenced to by a unique ID.
