Hello! I apologize if I am doing this all wrong as I am very new here.

Getting to the point, I ‘ve gotten to what seems to be a problem people frequently get, the Aptio Setup - AMI screen. Can I have a little help in getting this fixed?

I have a picture of the options it gave me here and the PC.

The first few steps I had already tried and have not let me boot windows. I’m guessing the next best thing is trying to create the PE system.. ?

Also, wouldn’t I need Windows to be working to be able to create the PE system?

I have also never done something like this so I will likely get lost with this process.

Yes. Though it doesn't have to be created on the computer you're trying to fix, you do need a working Windows computer to create the PE system on the USB flash drive.

I've never used the PE system either, so I'm not quite sure how it goes. If you're not able to get through it, I'd contact barry777, a tech for the company, at barry@minipcunion.com to see if he can help.

I got the PE system to work and I went to the program to see if my computer detects the SSD and it is not listed. I am not too sure what to do from here to fix this. I’ve just contacted the tech mentioned before asking for help so hopefully I can get this thing to work..
