Hello Everyone.
I am looking for help to figure out how to change BIOS to boot from the USB drive instead of the default, which starts the pc with Windows 10 32 bit on the hard driver. The USB has Windows 10 64 install media, so booting from the USB should provide me with the option to do a clean install of Windows 10 64bit.
1) Here are the options I see in the BIOS menu, after I click EST key while the PC is starting;
-- STARTUP MENU --
- Diagnostics (F2)
- Boot Menu (F9)
- Computer Setup (F10)
- Network Boot (F12)
- Utilities
- Run UEFI Application...
2) I click on F9 and screen like this is shown;
>>EFI Boot Sources
Legacy Boot Sources
ATAPI CD/DVD Drive
SATA2
Hard Drive
SATA0
IBA GE Slot 00C8 v1381
____________________________________
Up arrow and down arrow, move to selection
ENTER to select boot device
EST to boot using defaults

It seems no matter what I try I can't get it to boot from the USB.
I would very much appreciate your help.
If there is no way to do this with this bios is there a way to update to different version of BIOS to get the option to boot from USB?
Thank You
Jaroslaw

you will not see a USB boot entry in the bios, until you insert a usb key then reboot an enter the bios
you will now see the entry's for the usb key in both UEFI and legacy bios sections
note that your current boot options show that you have the boot drive connected to the usb-1 port instead of usb-0 this should be reversed
