Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

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
