Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello everyone, I have had a problem when trying to install a new windows on my HP pro book 440 G6. The UEFI boot does not register my usb stick, I read it has something to do with CSM but I cannot find that option in my bios settings.

 

I have the usb on top in the UEFI boot order and when I launched with the legacy order I got into the windows setup but I couldn’t proceed with choosing a disk to download it in because it said something about GPT.

 

the windows usb is FAT32. Please help I’m having a stroke. Thanks!

Hi @Castroble 

 

Welcome to the HP Forum.

 

Your PC probably shipped with W10 using the GPT drive format. 

 

W10 USB Legacy installation media will not see a GPT drive. You will also not get the UEFI boot option for the USB stick if the installation media can't see a GPT drive.

 

I can only guess the W10 USB media you created is limited to seeing MBR drives or you have a a BIOS setting problem.

 

Reset the BIOS to defaults.

 

The W10 installation media should support the GPT drive format if the installation media supports UEFI and GPT drives..

 

Regards
