How to enable BOOT from USB on a Dell Inspiron 7720
Hi I have an older laptop that is very slow so I am trying to reinstall Windows 10 on it, using this tutorial
Clean Install Windows 10
I have created the Bootable Disk today here
Create Bootable USB Flash Drive to Install Windows 10
but can not yet get the Dell to boot from it.
I found this video
How to Enable USB Boot Option on all DELL Inspiron Laptops || Fast and Easy BIOS Setup - YouTube
How to Enable USB Boot Option on all DELL Inspiron Laptops
and have set the below USB settings to ENABLE
USB emulation was already ENABLE
but I changed USB Wake Support also to ENABLE like the video
then the video says to save changes and go back out and in to the below screen
but I can not see USB available like his video achieves.
I did try to go into Add Boot Option and I see the below image
The only thing to note is, when i first went in here, even before doing things like setting USB Wake Support to ENABLE, there was 3 options and USB was one of them, however I dont think i selected things correctly. Somewhere its not there now, but I have not removed the Boot USB since this, just alot of restarts
Update
by taking out the USB stick and shut down then restart I go back to this additional option below
you can see the top option in the File System List is a USB.
But HOW to fully fill this screen out? I fear my creation is not complete.
I added USB in the Boot Option Name section, left the USB line highlighted in File System List, but when you tab down to File Name, there is no lookup ability to select the File System List highlighted file?? so I hit yes on the screen you see above bar the Boot Option Name has USB
then see above, I managed to use the + key to move the USB Boot just created to the top, I hit F10 save and when i hit F12 on a reboot the USB option is now there under UEFI boot, but you hit enter on it and nothing, back to the std windows login screen ????
