    Can this motherboard boot from a USB device


    Hi guys first post here ,

    BIOS Version/Date Phoenix Technologies, LTD ASUS M2N-E SLI ACPI BIOS Revision 0801, 25/04/2007

    This is an older MB and I have installed Windows 10 as a fresh install now and its running nicely .

    The Question is would I be able in the future to install windows via a USB Stick as there's no option in the BIOS as a first boot device.

    This is in case I ever have a situation where I can't get back into Windows and need to reinstall my OS.

    Hope this kind of makes sense lol

    Regards :)

    USB is considered as Removable device. Does it have this option in the BIOS ?
