Windows 10 Recovery Tools - Bootable Rescue Disk

32gb (sorry, tried to put the gb in caps, but kept changing when posted).

Yeah, it works fine on all other devices - it's just the three 7050s that give me this error.

They're covered with 'Pro' support so I've asked Dell for some clarification. I'll let you know when I've had a response.

Do post your Dell Support results for our knowledge base. Cheers

I can't claim to fully understand the link in Superfly's post, but since the key boots fine on other PCs (including two Dell XPS 13 laptops) can we assume the BCD hasn't been overwritten?

I used Rufus to make the key so I'll try remaking it using the 'format and copy contents of mounted ISO' instructions.

Booting was done via F12 options anyway and there's no OS on the PC so looks like the message is from the key. What do you think?

I just confirmed I get the same error on a second Dell 7050 with this key (Windows installation media boot fine, by the way).

Here's the contects of the BCDs:

There is one entry in the Windows bootloader.
Path: E:\Boot\BCD

Default: Windows Setup
Timeout: 30 seconds
EasyBCD Boot Device: E:\

Entry #1
Name: Windows Setup
BCD ID: {default}
Device: [boot]\sources\boot.wim
Bootloader Path: \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe

There is one entry in the Windows bootloader.
Path: E:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD

Default: Windows Setup
Timeout: 30 seconds
EasyBCD Boot Device: E:\

Entry #1
Name: Windows Setup
BCD ID: {default}
Device: [boot]\sources\boot.wim
Bootloader Path: \windows\system32\boot\winload.efi

However, I can see it's formatted NTFS so I'll try reformatting FAT32 and copying files as previously advised.

Same result with new FAT32 key made as advised.

Were the BCD contents as pasted from EasyBCD okay? I can zip and send if there's anything else you'd be able to see.
