Product: HP ENVY Phoenix 810-170st CTO Desktop PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have been trying to install FreeBSD on this PC. I downloaded the installation disk and burnt it to a USB stick. The problem is that the PC will not recognize the USB stick when I try to boot using it. I then used the Microsoft Tool to burn a copy of Win 10 to the same USB stick, and it was immediately recognized when booting up.

 

As a further test, I used the FreeBSD loaded USB stick in a Dell PC, and it was recognized. What am I missing?
