Cannot Boot to USB on Dell Desktop

Go down the list to
Table 5. System Configuration
USB Configuration Allows you to enable or disable the integrated USB controller for:
● Enable USB Boot Support
● Enable Front USB Ports
● Enable Rear USB Ports
You may have to save and exit.
Go back to bios
can you now see boot from usb and enable

I just checked again, those were already checked. Enable USB, allow boot from usb, enable front usb, rear usb. I’m thinking maybe my usb bootable drive is not correct somehow. Even though I’ve tried making multiple ones with different usb drives and even different programs (rufus and iso2disc). I’m going to try making a simple bootable usb drive with another program and see if it works.

Will 128 GB USB stick work? Or is that too big?

[PeterOz]

128 is fine
it is larger than 8gb
I would try a usb 2.0 in the back port - no good than front port

[PeterOz]

Turn off and change ports then back on

Ok, I created a bootable USB using that link and it worked. So, maybe the iso I was using for the other one isn’t good…or maybe Rufus and iso2disc aren’t good?

So you managed to blow away the previous OS and have successfully installed Win10?

Yeah… thanks!

Shall we close as solved then?
