means ur boot priority not correct, need to set usb before ur (apparently empty) drive. can set priority in bios, or select the usb drive to boot directly in bios or boot menu.

use +/- to adjust boot priority

+ = go up( (higher priority)
- = go down ( lower priority)

maybe you didn't make the usb drive boot files properly
or try some function key to list the boot drives

Could also be a corrupted boot sector. Happened before to me. Had to reinstall Windows.

But my ssd is a completely new one with nothing inside

You have to create a USB Windows bootable ISO to install Windows on the blank SSD.
That is first step, next is to boot from the USB device to install Windows.
Some motherboard may need to manually boot so depending on the brand.

MSI and Asrock is F11, Gigabyte is F12, ASUS is F8.
Branded PC wise boot menu depends on brand, HP will be more complicated to access.
Take note sometimes USB may not boot as either the drive is partition wrongly.

Or the WIndows USB installer is corrupted.
If you want to save all the headache bring to a shop let them do for you.

Try set drive 1 to usb uefi, other drives disable it. So that bios will only read from usb
