Hello,
I know this is a widespread problem and I know there are many topics with solutions around on all kinds of fora. I have gone through so many I have lost track so I decided to start my own threat.
The problem is 'Boot Device not found'
Now, I have tried the f2 system diagnostics, both the quick and the extensive hardrive check, both passed with flying colours.
I don't have any usb in the laptop from which is could try to boot.
I tried to switch the legacy support/secure boot.
The uefi boot order and legacy boot order are fine (I included a picture because maybe I am mistaken).
It might be something very obvious that I am missing but I was wondering if there are more things I can try? I'd be very grateful for any advice.
Sincerely,
Tjesse Boot options
The problem

Hi
Well it is a bit of 3 act tragedy.
First is hardware replacement.
Second is OS and drivers.
The final act is trying to recover your data.
Unfortunately I am currently mobile and using a phone that is out SMART ing me, so apologies that this is less than meaningful.

Hi
You would need to source a Replacement Hard Drive, then install on OS...
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
etc etc.
So is it something you wish to try, if so can you give an exact Model Number, or take to a local repair shop?
