![]() ![]() Once I get through this process, I hope our staff will no longer buy unapproved hardware, and I won't have to deal with HP. Will you be able to diagnose the symptoms to its root cause in the future, even with different system firmware and with different legacy support on different vendor and model? The advantage of doing it once manually is the learning effect. Other tools provide similar easing while others only allow you to do the needed steps manually. Rufus is just a tool (and option) easing the steps involved. According to my impression, the creation of UEFI bootable USB stick would have been sufficient. But you don't know if any of those three conditions would have been sufficient while only being sure that this combination was. The answer to my dilemma was to use Rufus ( Opens a new window), and create a UEFI bootable USB stick using OS ISO file. That confirms my first impression that your USB drive was previously formatted and prepared to boot only in legacy mode, not supporting UEFI, as I mentioned before. USB drive was now an option to boot from. That implies that this EFI partition wasn't properly setup and that this partition did not comply with conventions for booting in UEFI mode.Įsc, Boot Options. It seems that system firmware was looking into the EFI partition of your USB drive and detected it either missing or empty. And how do you come to the conclusion that boot from EFI file would not be what you want?įor the F9 variant, if the USB drive would have been prepared for booting in UEFI mode, it should have provided you more options.So you should repeat preparing your USB drive for boot in UEFI mode. With USB being listed first, still won't boot from it - goes straight into Windowsįor F9: only 2 options available - "OS Boot Manager (UEFI)", which takes me directly back Windows, and "Boot from EFI file", which obviously not the option I need.īoth symptoms correlate with my expectations if your USB drive is not prepared to boot in UEFI mode. an arrow, pointing to it regardless where I place the option in the boot order list. Another thing I noticed, is that "OS Boot Manager" is an option has little triangle, i.e. The "UEFI Boot Order" section has USB as first item.

But I expect your system firmwares not older than required for support of the 1909 version. But if installed system firmwares are older, the latest Windows 10 versions might not be able to install. So the latest system firmwares version should work with any of those Windows 10 versions already released. There is some dependency between minimum requirements on Windows version and system firmwares in my experience with Windows 10 Pro on HP devices in the past few years. That should work also with your installation of the Home edition. And whenever I purchased a HP device in the past few years, either drivers or system firmwares were already out of date. As far as I remember, the last three versions didn't come with such issues. There existed some older Windows 10 images having problems to boot off any USB drive, regardless if optical, flash or conventional disk attached. And is system firmware(s) up to date or already outdated?.Is is some of the last three versions, Windows, 2004 or 20H2?.And how recent is the content of that image on that USB drive?.And support for legacy mode has been dropping of of more and more system firmwares (successor of legacy BIOS) and models. But your Dell laptop was booting in legacy mode or in UEFI mode off that USB drive?Īccording to your symptoms reported, I would guess that your USB drive is prepared for booting only in legacy mode.LillebrorOchKarlsson wrote:USB drive works (I tested on my Dell laptop, and it boots no problem from it). For the parts, the service might be able to offer compatible other parts when the originals no longer remain available. ![]() And original parts availability as well as software/firmware updates may last shorted compared to business models. Supported delays to purchase such warranty upgrades defer between consumer models and business models as far as I understood. But that should not prevent you from getting the Pro edition installed nor from purchasing business warranty.
