Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I bought a "Crucial P3 2TB M.2 PCIe Gen3 NVMe Internal SSD" to replace the default 256GB SSD. I am trying to install Windows on the new SSD via a USB drive, but the BIOS menu is not showing up to let me do this - see image:

Please let me know if there is an easier way to do this.

Hi @Eamonn2899 

 

Welcome to the HP Forum.

 

You replaced the 256 GB SSD with the new 2 TB SSD.

 

Are you tapping the "ESC" key at startup with only the Windows USB installation media connected to an external USB 3 port?

 

Then select "F9" from the Startup Menu. Now select the only USB boot media available in the UEFI boot device list.

 

Disconnect the internal HDD before installing Windows to avoid installing Windows on the 2 TB HDD.

 

Regards
