Hello Andre

Evening Andre.


Evening Bree. One time I tried to add something to a Dell Bios. I gave up.


Dell convinced me not to add anything more to computer. I did not know this but on some of their newer laptops you can supposedly reload windows from a feature called "BIOS Connect". That said next week when I pick up the matching Dell to clean install it I will not be trying.

During the call the analyst said they are getting more calls about the sound on several of their laptops acting as these two did. I suggested they get engineering involved to determine root cause so they can apply a fix. They've decided it would be better to clean install. Interesting as SCF and DISM did not find errors. Wonder how some of their clients will feel reloading from media especially as the wifi drivers are not part of the windows set.

Took a few attempts to find the right device to add and its boot file (\EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi), but got there in the end and booted from the usb NVMe drive.

On further research, apparently I could have changed 'POST Behavior > Fastboot' in the BIOS to Thorough (from its default of Minimal) then it should have found an added the new NVMe device itself during POST.
