Product: Pavilion G6 1288sl

Hi, I've recently bought an SSD from Crucial and I wanted to install it on my laptop HP Pavilion G6 1288sl, but after installing the physical device inside the machine I found out that I am unable to read and execute the bootable Win 10 USB that I have created.

The display shows this message: "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key".

 

I've tried an hard disk test that gone well, I've seen that the computer shows the USB in the boot options tab, I tried to reset the BIOS but nothing has changed.

 

I'm sure that the USB is correctly bootable because I created it with the tool to create bootable USBs for Win 10 from Microsoft.

 

Does someone know what I should do?

 

Thank you, sorry for my bad English, it's not my native language.

With the Windows 10 installation media in the USB, start tapping the Esc key and the power on the laptop.  Keep tapping the Esc key until the Esc menu comes up and then choose F10.  This should be the startup menu.  There should be a list of items with the bootable USB thumb drive listed.  Make that the number one choice and save the selection before leaving that menu.  then restart the PC.  It should then start and boot into the Windows 10 media.

Unfortunately I've already did it before and If i select the USB drive it keeps saying that it isn't a bootable device.

Some of the older products are fussy about the USB boot.  It looks as though that unit has a DVD drive, so try using the DVD creator instead of the USB and then try to boot to the new DVD Windows 10 media.

You can make the DVD from here:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

Scroll down to the "Using the tool to create installation media" and follow the directions for a DVD.

It appears that the unit is old enough to not use UEFI BIOS, so that should not be the problem.
