HPE 410T
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi I have an HPE 410t desktop PC that is going on six years and would like to know how to boot off of a MicroSD card. I am able to boot from a USB flash drive by pressing and holding down the ESC key at bootup to select boot device and my USB flash drive appears in the list of bootable devices but my microsd card does not appear in this list. Is there anyway I can boot from the microsd card on this computer? Thanks.

Sorry, but you can only boot off devices that appear in the boot selection menu.

 

If it's not listed there, it can't be use to boot -- and SD cards are a common problem in this respect.

 

However, there are microSD-to-USB adapters (I have one for my cards), and if you can find one of those, you might be able to boot using a USB port.


Good Luck
