SSD, HDD all work the same way.

1) Instead of setting the boot order, just check how to enable manual boot device selection when the laptop start up.
2) Follow the on screen instructions to perform the installation.
3) You can initialize the SSD in Windows installation, as you need to create partition for Windows to install into.
4) Once the installation done, it should prompt you that it will reboot (don't remember if it's automatic or need manual intervention, just follow on screen instructions)
5) If remember correctly it will tell you when it's safe to remove the USB. I never remove the USB, as I manually select to boot into USB drive. I just exit out of the installation if it booted into the USB again.
