There are many types of BIOS: Ami, Award, Phoenix Award, UEFI. Let's figure out which buttons to press when booting a computer or laptop so that go to BIOS and boot from a flash drive to install windows. I would like to note that the traditional key delete, F2 to enter the BIOS. Below are button combinations on how to enter the BIOS to boot from a flash drive.

How to set the BIOS to boot from a flash drive to install Windows
Let me start with the fact that you don’t always need to go into the BIOS to swap the bootloader to install windows. For this there is a so-called start menu. To go there, you need to turn on the computer, sometimes a key is written. In this case F12. Press the key that is written in the word Boot Menu.
How will we start the computer: USB flash drive or other devices. Next will be the installation of the Windows system.
How to install boot from a flash drive in Ami Bios
- Click Device Priority.
In line 1st Devise set priority from the flash drive. That’s usually all, but many have encountered why I did everything correctly, but the computer does not start from the flash drive. Sometimes you just need to specify, in addition to the priority, forced loading in the line Hard Disk Drives.
- IN Hard Disk Drives set a forced launch from a flash drive.
- IN 1st drive select the media.
- Press F10 to save.
It turned out that in the settings of 1st Devise and Hard Disk Drives there is a bootloader with USB Flash i.e. We set the priority option, tried it and it didn’t work. Then we set a forced launch and everything worked out. And so on in all BIOS versions, if priority loading fails.
How to set Award Bios to boot from a flash drive
- Let's go to Advanced Features.
- Click First Device, in the context menu we set which bootloader we will start the computer with. We have chosen the primary device to launch.
- Hard Disk Priority put the flash drive in 1st place. (If in First Device If you choose to start from a drive, then you need to install a flash drive in Hard Disk Priority).
- Award is ready, press F10 to save.
How to boot from a flash drive in Phoenix Award Bios
- Settings Advanced, in line First Boot Device install a flash drive or other device.
- Click F10 to save.
New UEFI BIOS in which you can control the mouse.
- Line Boot Priority, change places by dragging with the mouse. Can be done through advanced settings > Exit/Advanced mode and choose Advanced mode.
- Presses Boot and select in Boot Option #1 loader.
Going into the BIOS and booting from a flash drive to install Windows turned out to be quite simple, you just need to change the boot type. And remember about the priority and forced bootloader.
Sometimes there are quite unpleasant situations when the operating system crashes. And to restore you need the original disk. If you don’t have one available, you can write the image to a regular flash drive. But here's the problem - what to do when the BIOS does not allow booting from a flash drive? Many users simply do not know what to do and are lost in this matter. Let's try to dot all the i's.
How to enable it in BIOS using the simplest method?
To set these parameters, you must first decide how exactly you will enter the BIOS. The most common way is to use the Del, F2, F12, etc. keys.
However, on the same Sony Vaio laptops, access is achieved using a special ASSIST button located on the keyboard panel. On some laptops, the BIOS can only be accessed by calling the primary boot menu using the Esc key.
How can I set the BIOS to boot from a flash drive? Yes, very simple. After calling the I/O system, you need to go to the boot section. Here you need to find the boot priority line, which may have different names, depending on the developer and manufacturer of the BIOS (Boot Device Priority, Boot Sequence, etc.). In any case, something like this will be present. But that's not the point.
What to do if the BIOS does not allow booting from a flash drive?
It also happens that the bootable flash drive is not recognized by the primary I/O system. With what it can be connected? There are usually several reasons for this:
- incorrectly recorded image or installation distribution;
- damage to the USB drive itself.
To make sure that all the steps for booting from a flash drive are completed correctly, there are several steps you need to take. For now, let’s leave the question of how to enable booting from a flash drive in the BIOS in the background, and move on to pressing problems.
Checking in Device Manager
Let's start with the last point. When checking the device itself for its functionality, there can be two options: either it is faulty itself, or the accompanying driver responsible for recognizing the flash drive by the operating system is missing or incorrectly installed.
In case of malfunctions everything is clear. The device will simply have to be replaced. But what to do when it is in working condition (at least detected on another computer or laptop)? We need to check its functionality. And to do this, in the simplest version, you just need to insert it into the appropriate USB 2.0/3.0 port, and then call the standard “Device Manager” through the “Control Panel” or use the devmgmt command in the “Run” menu bar (Win + R).
Let's assume that after inserting it into the port, it may either not be displayed in the manager or be displayed with a yellow icon on which it is present. In the second case, everything is simple: you need to install or re-install the driver. It may very well be that the system itself does not find a suitable driver, although it should do this automatically. But this mostly applies to non-standard devices. Flash drives like Transcend are usually recognized immediately.
If the device is not displayed in the corresponding manager, there may also be two reasons: either the corresponding universal USB controller driver is not installed, or the port itself is faulty. Again, you should install the driver (the controller is indicated in yellow or is not in the manager at all), or try to plug the flash drive into a different port. It is worth considering that if a device is designed exclusively for data transfer with USB 3.0 support, it will not be detected when connected to a standard 2.0 port.
Formatting USB device partitions
Let’s leave aside the question of how to boot from a flash drive in the BIOS for now, and let’s move on to the procedures, without which even recording an image to install the system on the device may be in vain.
First of all, if the device has problems in operation or no action can be taken with it, you should first format it. In this case, it is not advisable to quickly clear the table of contents, but rather complete formatting. Only in this case will the file system contained on it ensure correct data transfer and reading.
This operation is performed in standard Explorer. On the device you just need to right-click and select the appropriate line from the menu. In the new window, be sure to uncheck the quick formatting line, and then activate the start of the process. Depending on the total volume, this may take a long time.
Creating a bootable distribution
If we consider the question of how to set boot from a flash drive in the BIOS even more broadly, we cannot ignore the issue of creating a boot image and transferring it to the drive. This can be done using the UltraISO utility or similar.
However, the source must be the original Windows installation disc. Actually, it’s not that difficult, so there’s no point in dwelling on this in detail. And if the BIOS does not allow booting from a flash drive, in the future it all comes down to correctly transferring the image or unpacked distribution files to the drive. Here you will have to tinker a little.
Media preparation
If you use the system's own tools, even after formatting the USB device, you need to perform a number of additional actions (it is assumed that the image has already been created from the original disk using the same UltraISO program or even 7-Zip, and the flash drive is in working condition and connected to a computer or laptop).
First, call the command line (cmd in the “Run” menu), always on behalf of the system administrator. In the console that appears, enter and press the enter button.
After this, use the list disk command, again, followed by pressing the Enter key, after which we look through the available disks and remember the USB device number. To accurately check the USB drive number, you can use the diskmgmt.msc command entered in the Run menu.
Now in the console you need to enter the select disk command and, separated by a space, indicate the number of the disk you are looking for. Next, the device should be cleared of its contents using the clean command.
The next step is to create a primary boot partition. This is done using the create partition primary command followed by entering. After confirmation of a successful operation appears on the screen, use the select partition 1 command, then - active (to activate the selected partition) and finally - format fs=ntfs quick for formatting with selection If you need to create a FAT32 file system, use a similar format fs command =fat32 quick.
The next step is to assign a name to the device using the assign command (the name will be assigned automatically). Finally, enter exit and finish the job. The bootable USB device is ready to use. All that remains is to correctly transfer the distribution files to it.
Transferring data to a flash drive
At this stage, no configuration will be required. We don’t yet need a BIOS to boot from a flash drive, but we will need the 7-Zip program. In its simplest form, it can be used to correctly copy installation files to media (roughly speaking, extract them from the image).
We launch the Zip File Manager utility from the standard “Explorer”, then select the installation distribution image previously created or downloaded from the Internet, specify the flash drive as the final device and confirm the actions by pressing the OK button. At the end of the process, the media will be completely ready for use.
Start download
Now let’s move on to the question of how to set the BIOS to boot from a flash drive directly. We reboot the system and at the initial stage press a key or key combination to enter the BIOS settings. Usually these are Del, F2, F12 (for ASUS laptops, BIOS loading from a flash drive is done this way), but other keys or combinations described above can also be used. Depending on the manufacturer of the equipment, you may first need to call up the main menu. This situation is typical for laptops like HP - booting from a flash drive (BIOS) is installed somewhat differently, although the operations themselves are very similar.
In the boot section, look for the Boot Device Priority item and look at the line 1-st Boot Device. By pressing the PgDn key, we select the desired device, after which we exit and save the parameters (as a rule, this is done using the F10 key). This is followed by a reboot, and the installation starts automatically.
However, it is not enough to know how to select boot from a flash drive in the BIOS. It is important to remember that you should call up the settings of the primary I/O system only when a USB device is connected before starting to boot your computer or laptop. Otherwise, the flash drive simply will not be detected.
How to fix problems?
Now let's look at a situation where the device seems to be working, since all the steps described above were supposedly performed correctly, but in fact there is still no boot from a flash drive in the BIOS. What to do in this case?
We use the same command line. Let's assume that the USB device in the system is designated by the letter F, and the optical drive by E. Now you need to enter the command E:\Boot\bootsect.exe /nt60 F: (F is a flash drive in our case, and E is a disk drive).
Alternative method
If this does not work, enter the following one by one:
F:\Boot\bootsect.exe /nt60 F:
After this, everything will definitely work as expected.
Compatibility issues
If none of the above methods help, first you should pay attention to the state of the drivers. The best option is to use programs like Driver Booster, which can update drivers automatically.
If everything is fine with them, the reason may be that the user is trying to install a 32-bit system over a 64-bit one. In addition, the file system on the USB drive and the installation distribution may also differ in terms of bit depth. In fact, the flash drive itself may not support the USB 3.0 ports into which it is plugged in. Here you need to be very careful.
Instead of a total
That, in fact, is all that concerns how to set boot from a flash drive in the BIOS. Of course, many users may have questions about the advisability of using their own system tools for preliminary actions, because automated programs make this much faster and easier. But here I would like to note that such knowledge is extremely important, and programs in case of failures in Internet access are also not always available.
But a prerequisite, as is already clear, is a disk image, which is created based on the original or downloaded from the Internet. You can't go anywhere without him. It remains to add that attention should also be focused on the bit depth of the system being installed, since the 32-bit version will not install over the 64-bit version without formatting the system partition. This is only due to the fact that OS versions require 32 bits and 64-bit modifications require at least NTFS. And the flash drive itself must contain the appropriate FAT or NTFS file systems, and not UDP, as sometimes happens. As for the volume, 4 GB will be quite enough for any system, including even the tenth modification that is gaining popularity.
Using a flash drive for this purpose is convenient. Let's look at how to start a computer or laptop from a flash drive.
You need to start by choosing one of the alternative actions:
- Changing the order of boot devices in the BIOS;
- Selecting a boot device in the Boot Menu.
You must first get into the BIOS Utility settings. You get into them using the Delete (most often) or F2 (the most common cases) keys.
The BIOS call must be made before the OS boots - at the first black screen or reflection of the manufacturer's logo.
Sometimes what you need to click can be seen in the picture of the initial screen:
Changing Boot to UEFI
The UEFI software is graphical and changing boot devices is intuitive:
Most options usually involve changing the boot order by simply dragging and dropping the disk images with the mouse.
Actions in AMI BIOS
Before entering the Bios, the flash drive is connected to the PC in advance.
To start a computer or laptop from a flash drive, the following operational procedure is performed:
- At the top of the menu, use the “right” button to select “Boot”;
- By clicking “Hard Disk Drives”, press “Enter” under the “1st Drive” item in the menu that opens;
- The list contains the name of the flash drive - the cursor is placed on it;
- Press Enter and Esc alternately;
- Then in “Boot device priority” you press “Enter” on “First boot device”;
- The flash drive is indicated again:
We work in BIOS AWARD
Selecting a boot device in Award BIOS is done in the menu settings. You need to select “First Boot Device” with the cursor in “Advanced BIOS Features” and hit “Enter”:
In the list that appears, in order to boot a computer or laptop from a flash drive, install “USB-HDD” (“USB-Flash”).
After this, use the Esc button to move up a level and select the “Save/Exit” option:
Setting up in H2O BIOS
You can boot a USB flash drive into the InsydeH20 BIOS like this:
- Use the right key to open “Boot” in the main menu;
- "External Device Boot" must be "Enabled";
- Use the control keys F5 and F6 to put “External Device” in the first position in the “Boot Priority” section;
- Exit (“Exit”) from the menu when saving the settings.
The computer will restart from the desired drive.
Without visiting BIOS (for Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 with UEFI)
For such devices, you need to open the “Update and Recovery” tab through the panel on the right and select “Restart”. And in the “Special Options” panel on the “Select Action” screen, select “Use a USB device.” There will also be a choice of network connection and DVD.
The next screen will provide a list of devices from which the flash drive is selected.
If it is not in the list, click “View others”.
The choice you make will force the computer to reboot from the selected drive.
Booting through the Boot Menu
The Boot Menu is called up when the vast majority of laptop/computer models are turned on. Being one of the BIOS or UEFI tools, it allows you to select a drive to start the computer in this particular case.
This method is convenient to use for selecting a boot device once before starting the OS from a Live CD, using a flash drive to install Windows OS, and more.
After all, it’s not often that a computer starts from a flash drive - why change the BIOS settings?
IMPORTANT. Through the Boot menu in some laptops it is possible to restore the system.
Path to Boot Menu
Just like BIOS (or UEFI), the Boot Menu is called up by certain keys. Most often it is F12, F11 or Esc. Other options are possible. Sometimes (not always) this can be seen from the information that appears on the monitor screen when you turn on the computer.
Once in this section, you can see a list of connected devices from which you can start downloading (hard drive, flash drive, disks, etc.). You can choose to boot your computer over a network or start an OS recovery using a backup partition.
Features of logging into Windows 8, 8.1 and 10
Shutting down a PC running Windows 8, 8.1 and Windows 10 is not a “shutdown” in the strict sense (hibernation). Therefore, you may not be able to enter the boot menu using the above keys.
In this case, you need to do one of the following:
- If you hold “Shift” while selecting the “Shutdown” option, the PC will turn off “completely” and the next time you turn it on, the keys will work;
- Use the necessary keys when rebooting (and not during a preliminary shutdown);
- In “Control Panel” (view - icons) / “Power Options” / “Actions of the power buttons” - disable enabling fast startup (sometimes you need to “change currently unavailable settings”):
One of the methods will definitely work.
Login to Asus
Desktop computers with Asus motherboards allow you to enter the boot menu by pressing the F8 key (the same time you press Del or F9 to enter the BIOS).
With laptops there is complete confusion:
Most modern ones use Esc;
You need to try all the options!
Login to Lenovo
With the Lenovo brand - almost the easiest way of all - we enter the treasured menu using the F12 key for almost all models of laptops / all-in-one computers.
There is also an arrow button next to power - other boot options are available on it:
We get to Acer
For Acer laptops/monoblocks, the F12 key works. But for some, in order to enter the menu to work, it needs to be turned on.
To do this, first enter the BIOS using the F2 key, and then switch the “F12 Boot Menu” parameter so that it takes the value “Enabled” (the default is “Disabled”).
Then the settings are saved before exiting the BIOS.
Other models
List of keys to enter the Boot Menu for other branded models:
- HP - F9 or Esc key, and then F9;
- Dell - F12;
- Samsung - Esc;
- Toshiba - F12.
For motherboards:
- Gigabyte - F12;
- Intel - Esc;
- Asus - F8;
- MSI - F11;
- AsRock - F11.
After reading this publication, you are guaranteed to be able to launch your computer or laptop system from a flash drive.

Every system administrator should know how boot computer from USB flash drive. Most often, this skill is needed when installing an operating system. After all, the Windows distribution does not have to be located on a CD. And, for example, it won’t even be possible to install Windows on a netbook any other way, because... it usually does not have a disk drive.
Today I will tell you how to set boot from a flash drive in the BIOS of various manufacturers. Regardless of which version you have, the procedure will be as follows:
1. We insert our bootable USB flash drive into the USB connector of the computer. It is advisable to insert it into a port located directly on the motherboard, i.e. from the back of the system unit.
2. Turn on the computer and press the key Delete(or F2) to get into the BIOS. Depending on the manufacturer and BIOS version, other keys (Esc, F1, Tab) may be used, so you need to carefully watch the prompts on the screen.
In Bios, we can navigate through tabs and lines only using the keyboard.
Next, I will describe this process in detail using the example of different BIOS versions.
Setting up Award Bios to boot from a flash drive
Award Bios:
First, let's check if the USB controller is enabled. Let's go to “Integrated Peripherals”. Use the arrow on the keyboard to move down to the “USB Controller” item. Press the “Enter” key and select “Enable” in the window that appears (also using “Enter”). Opposite “USB Controller 2.0” there should also be “Enable”. 
Exit this tab by pressing “Esc”.
Then go to “Advanced BIOS Features” – “Hard Disk Boot Priority”. Now in my example the hard drive comes first, but the flash drive should be there. 
We stand on the line with the name of our flash drive (Patriot Memory) and raise it to the very top using the “+” key on the keyboard. 
We leave here by pressing “Esc”.
Now on the line “First Boot Device” press “Enter”. We selected “CD-ROM”, but we need to set “USB-HDD” (if suddenly loading from a flash drive does not work, come back here and try setting “USB-FDD”). Let the second device be “Hard Disk”. 
Exit this tab by pressing Esc.
Now exit the BIOS, saving the changes. To do this, click “Save & Exit Setup” – press the “Y” – “Enter” key. 
Setting up AMI Bios to boot from a flash drive
If, after entering Bios, you see such a screen, it means you have AMI Bios:
First, let's check if the USB controller is enabled. Go to the “Advanced” – “USB Configuration” tab. 
Opposite the items “USB Function” and “USB 2.0 Controller” should be “Enabled”. 
If this is not the case, go to this line and press the “Enter” key. From the list that appears, select “Enabled” (also using “Enter”).
Then exit this tab by pressing “Esc”.
Go to the “Boot” – “Hard Disk Drives” tab. 
Now my hard drive is in first place, but I need to put a flash drive here. We go to the first line, press “Enter” and in the window that appears, select our Patriot Memory flash drive. 
It should be like this: 
We leave here via “Esc”.
Select “Boot Device Priority”. Here, the first boot device must be a flash drive. 
Press Esc.
Then we exit the Bios, saving all the settings made. To do this, go to “Exit” – “Exit & Save Changes” – “OK”. 
Setting up Phoenix-Award Bios to boot from a flash drive
If, after entering Bios, you see such a screen, it means you have Phoenix-Award BIOS:
First, let's check if the USB controller is enabled. Go to the “Peripherals” tab – opposite the “USB Controller” and “USB 2.0 Controller” items there should be “Enabled”. 
Then go to the “Advanced” tab and opposite “First Boot Device” set “USB-HDD”. 
After that, exit the Bios, saving the changes. To do this, go to “Exit” – “Save & Exit Setup” – press the “Y” – “Enter” key 
That's practically everything you need to know in order to boot from a flash drive. In my article, I described the process of setting up the BIOS of the most popular versions: Award And AMI. The third example presents Phoenix-Award Bios, which is much less common.
The described procedure may differ slightly in different BIOS versions. But the main thing is that you understand the principle of setting itself.
By the way, I would also like to add: in order to choose which device to boot your computer from, it is not necessary to change the settings in the BIOS. You can immediately call up a special menu after turning on the computer to select boot devices (this can be done by pressing the F8, F10, F11, F12 or Esc key). In order not to guess with the keys, look carefully at the monitor immediately after turning it on. We need to have time to see an inscription like this: “Press Esc to selest boot device.” In my case, it was necessary to press “Esc”. 
If on your computer BIOS UEFI, and you need to boot from a flash drive - you can check it out.
If you need reset forgotten user password using a bootable USB flash drive - how to do it.
Friends, in this article we will find this very boot menu for laptops Acer, Sony, Samsung, MSI, Toshiba, HP, ASUS, Packard Bell and load the above devices from my Corsair Voyager flash drive, which contains the Windows 7 operating system. Don’t forget, if you want to install Windows 7 or Windows XP on a new laptop, then connect the flash drive to the USB 2.0 port (black), if you connect the flash drive to USB 3.0 port (blue), the system installation will fail, since the Windows 7 installer does not contain USB 3.0 drivers.
We will also analyze the BIOS of these devices in detail. Let's look at how to change the boot priority on these laptops, in case you and I are unable to enter the boot menu. There is no need to be afraid of the BIOS; if you configure something in it incorrectly, you can always reset the settings to default.
Very important note: This note will be useful to you if you have a new laptop from any manufacturer (2013, 2014 with UEFI BIOS). If you have such a laptop and you are reading these lines, then you want. To do this, of course, the laptop needs to be booted from .
Almost all laptops currently sold have a UEFI BIOS; such a laptop cannot simply be loaded from a flash drive, since the UEFI BIOS has special protection - the “Secure Boot” secure boot protocol based on special certified keys (available only in Windows 8). The Secure Boot protocol will not allow you to boot your laptop from any boot disk or flash drive other than the Windows 8 installation disk. In order to boot your laptop from a flash drive, the Secure Boot protocol must be disabled in the BIOS of your laptop, this is done very simply, read our article or .
Let's return to this article. I think the information will be useful to many owners of laptops and netbooks. This article will also help if you want to boot from a disk and don't know how to do it.
Let's start with an Acer laptop, first of all we connect our Corsair Voyager flash drive to the laptop, then press F12 when loading,
Then you need to select our flash drive in the boot menu that appears and click
If you are unable to enter the boot menu of your Acer laptop using the F12 key during boot, then the Boot Menu option is disabled in the BIOS and needs to be enabled.
When loading, press F2, the initial Information tab, go to the Main tab, see the F12 Boot Menu parameter, set it to Enabled,
Next, press F10 to save the settings, reboot, press F12 when loading and our boot menu appears, select our flash drive in it and press Enter, it boots from the flash drive.
If the boot menu of the Acer laptop still does not appear, then go to the BIOS again (when loading F2), Boot tab. We select our flash drive and put it in the first position using the F6 key, then press F10 to save the settings, reboot and boot from the flash drive.
When loading the laptop, press F12 and get into the boot menu, select our flash drive here, if you connected a flash drive to the laptop, its name will be here. Press Enter and if your flash drive is bootable, it will boot from the flash drive.
If for some reason you cannot boot your laptop from a flash drive using the boot menu, then you can enter the BIOS and change the boot device priority there. We often press F2 when booting a Toshiba laptop and get into the BIOS of this laptop. The initial Main tab, go to the Boot tab (responsible for loading the laptop) and see our Corsair Voyager flash drive in sixth position. We select it using the keyboard and press F6, thus moving our flash drive to the first position, then press F10 to save the settings we changed, the reboot occurs and the laptop boots from the flash drive.
Friends, if you have a new Samsung laptop, for example 2012-2013, then read this article “”, for all others this instruction is also suitable.
When loading, press Esc or F10, get into the boot menu and select our flash drive. If the boot menu does not appear, then go to the BIOS, press F2 or DEL when loading. In the BIOS Boot tab, select the first parameter Boot Device Priority
And we enter it, here we select our flash drive and using the F6 key we put it in the first position. Next, press F10 to save the settings and reboot, reboot, then boot from our flash drive.
and we get to the boot menu. The first device is now the disk drive, if your flash drive is connected to the laptop, then its name will also be present here, select our flash drive here and press Enter or F10, a reboot occurs and further loading from the flash drive.
If you cannot enter the boot menu of an HP laptop, then go to the BIOS, press ESC when loading, then F-10, get into the BIOS,
Go to the System Configuration tab, then Boot Options, press Enter
As you can see, the first device is the Notebook Hard Drive. If your flash drive is connected to a laptop, then its name will be here, select our flash drive and use the F6 key to move it to the first position. Next, we save the settings we changed, press F10 to save the settings, the reboot occurs and the laptop boots from the flash drive.
If the boot menu is not available, press the DEL key during boot and enter the BIOS, then go to the Boot tab, select our flash drive and, without releasing Shift, press +, thereby moving our flash drive to the first position. Press F10 to save the settings, the settings are saved and the laptop boots from the flash drive.
Then go to the Boot tab, and set the Fast Boot option to Disabled,
Once again we enter the BIOS and go to the Boot tab, set the Launch CSM (advanced boot) option to Enabled,
We go down to the Boot Option Priorities and Boot Option #1 option and enter it by pressing Enter, in the menu that appears, using the arrows on the keyboard, select the name of our flash drive and press Enter. Here we also put our Corsair Voyager flash drive in first place.
We press F10 to save the settings, reboot and our Asus laptop boots from the flash drive.
Also you can use boot menu Asus laptop, to do this, in the initial phase of booting the laptop, frequently press the key Esc, you will be taken to the boot menu, use the arrows on the keyboard to select your bootable USB flash drive and press Enter.
How to boot a Packard Bell laptop from a flash drive
Press the button when loading F12 and we get into the boot menu of the laptop, there we simply select our flash drive and boot the laptop from the flash drive.
If F12 does not work when loading, then click F2, less often F6 and get into the UEFI BIOS of the laptop,
here we go to the tab Boot.
If before turning on the laptop you connected a flash drive to it, then it may not decide immediately in this menu.
Set the Boot Mode option to Legacy BIOS.
And the option Secure Boot set to position Disabled.
Now the flash drive should determine. Place the flash drive in the first position, save the settings and reboot. If the bootable flash drive is made according to our articles, then the download will be successful.
