Boot from USB First Boot Blank SSD - Are Changes To the BIOS Necessary
When notebook arrives I will be pulling the HDD platter before first boot and putting in a 2.5" SATA SSD and then booting from a USB stick that has the bootable? install OS media created using the media creation tool. The video below indicates that I need to make changes to the BIOS first before the USB stick will engage. I thought that I would be just good to go by hitting F12 to bring up the boot menu and choosing the USB. In the video he is booting a disc up from an external CD/DVD player and he already has an OS installed. I will have no OS installed upon first boot and I thought that the BIOS would just "find" the USB stick and I would be on my merry way. Insight appreciated. TIA. P.S. I know that I have secure boot disabled on my other notebook but I cannot recall if I also had gone ahead and enabled both UEFI and LEGACY and if I did it was for purposes of something else and at the moment I do not particularly feel like shutting down and going into the BIOS to check : )
