Not seeing my USB hard drive in my boot menu

[tspe1232]

I am trying to reinstall Windows through a USB hard drive, but it is not showing up in the boot menu. I used the media creation tool from Microsoft to create it. It shows up in windows just fine but not in the boot menu. Are there any possible solutions?

Hi:

See if disabling the secure boot setting in the BIOS gets the USB flash drive to show up in the boot options menu.

If not, go back into the BIOS and enable Legacy mode too.

The USB flash drive boot option should show up in both the UEFI and Legacy boot options lists.

Boot from the UEFI flash drive.

Dude, thank you! Worked perfectly and I was able to reinstall windows.
